Hometown Cable Company recently received a $4.6 million Recovery Act broadband award to deploy enhanced broadband service for Ohioans in Darke and Preble counties. The award was announced today by U.S. Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack.
"I want to congratulate Hometown Cable for its successful project," Ohio Governor Ted Strickland said. "This award is in line with our work to create job opportunities in rural Ohio by expanding broadband Internet throughout Ohio. We're working to connect every region of Ohio because, like the road projects of the past, enhanced Internet access is a vital part of the infrastructure that our people and businesses need to be successful."
The award will allow Hometown Cable to deploy a countywide, wireless, wide area network with fixed and mobile broadband service throughout Darke and Preble counties. Approximately 49,160 people, 522 businesses and 206 community institutions are expected to benefit
