Subject: Consolidated’s fiber expansion in Vermont gets a $9M boost
By Diana Goovaerts
Consolidated Communications laid out plans to deploy fiber to more
than 19,000 locations across Vermont next year, using a combination of
its own money, federal funds and a state grant from the Vermont
Community Broadband Board. The news comes as the operator hustles to
expand its Fidium Fiber footprint at a rapid clip, aiming to reach a
total of 2 million passings by the end of 2025.
The operator said in a press release it plans to invest $10.8 million
to run fiber to 13,000 locations across Vermont in 2023. This rollout
will be partially funded by federal money it won in 2020’s Rural
Digital Opportunity Fund (RDOF) auction. Consolidated snagged $19
million in the auction to help it cover more than 10,123 locations in
Vermont, with the support set to be distributed over a 10-year period.

Subject: New Lawsuit Filed Against SCE Over Fairview Fire In Hemet
(CNS) - Another group of families is suing Southern California Edison
Co., alleging the utility’s negligence is linked to the outbreak of
the destructive Fairview Fire last month in Riverside County.
The blaze broke out on Sept. 5, killing two and forcing the
evacuations of thousands in Hemet.
“Edison negligently, recklessly and willfully failed to maintain an
appropriate clearance area between the electrical equipment in its
utility infrastructure and surrounding vegetation,” according to the
Los Angeles Superior Court lawsuit brought Friday, alleging
negligence, nuisance and trespass, and seeking unspecified
compensatory and punitive damages.

Verizon CEO: ‘This is our peak year’ for network investments
By Brad Smith
Verizon (VZ) doesn't plan to moderate its network infrastructure
investment, even as recession concerns loom.
“I think the last six, seven years, we have planned exactly how we're
going to invest in the network,” Verizon CEO Hans Vestberg told Yahoo
Finance Live (video above). “This is our peak year. We're going to do
somewhere around $22 billion in capex, that’s our guidance. And one
portion is our business as usual, and then the other is that the new
spectrum we bought last year is actually coming to execution right
now, and we're doing that as fast as we can.”
