The big question for me and I haven't found an answer to it yet. Is after all this public service money Federal funding of millions, the county of millions who will own the broadband the fixed asset in the ground?
Hmm a bloody good deal for Axle. All that public money and the private guys walk off with the assets - how long will it be before it is flipped. Fibre lasts for ever owners come and go.
I heard several times over the last year as the rollout dragged on and on that the private company, not identified at that point, was trying to squeeze every dollar out of the deal. Seems like they did.
The fact that feeding pigeons has inspired a bylaw conversation and an educational strategy while council allows live ammunition to be fired near homes, is so absurd it would be laughable if it weren't real. As you know when we pleaded for restrictions on firearm use in our residential area, we were told it couldn't be done. Council dismissed the safety concerns and instead offered vague promises to "educate" the individuals responsible. Unsurprisingly, that education never took place. No visits. No letters. No follow-up. If pigeon poop is bothering residents, don’t count on education to stop it. However, I may be wrong if council members believe pigeons pose a greater threat to public safety than bullets.

The county says the network will belong to Axle Telecom, which is owned by Windsor Private Capital.

I wonder if the contract between the County and the Company is available or will they claim proprietary secrets?
Good question and I don't think I've seen an answer. Will see what I can find out.
