Winnipesaukee Forum - View Single Post - Attention nhec members: Vote for broadband before 10/14

I have voted in favor of this bylaw change. Now that I have read that the intention is to provide broadband service to ALL co-op members, I am on board. (FWIW, I own two properties in NHEC territory.)

I am not bothered by any creation of a for-profit subsidiary (as mentioned in another thread), this is a common structure for co-ops of all kinds. Any profits are retained by the membership. I am in favor of competition, and of having a broadband provider whose sole purpose is to provide me with service, as I am the shareholder.
