Yeah. Seems pointless, but I bet they're trying to attract folks with work-from-home jobs.
There's a big migration of work-from-home folks out to areas where they can have bigger homes, gardens and such.
I think the theory is that whichever towns or cities attract these folks first will grow into long term preferred work-from-home destinations, using the tax revenue and voting habits of the first folks to move in.
It's a gamble, but an interesting one.
For WFH crows the town needs fiber, and in another post he stated the town doesn't have that.
I can see your point and that's what I figured they were trying to attract
Did I? I don't know if Cumberland has fiber options nowadays.
You posted a photo of Cumberland and said (at the time) fiber options were low
You sure it was me? I could have said that, I have memory like swiss cheese, but I can't find any mention of Cumberland or fiber on my three profiles (Kbin, World, dbzer0)
I misremembered Monsterknees comment chain in your photo of Cumberland, went back and looked.
No worries! I was just wondering if I'd known something about fibre availability in Cumberland and just forgot it, lol
