Much misinformation has been disseminated about Burlington Telecom (BT).
Here are the facts. BT is a city department of Burlington, Vermont,
which owns a fiber-to-the-home network and offers triple play services
(phone, cable, internet). The network depends entirely on subscriber
revenues and is not subsidized in any form by the City. BT has saved
the City money while being built entirely with investor money -- no tax
dollars have been or will be used.
BT remains current on its debt service, is adding 40 subscribers a week
and has a take rate above 40% in the area it first began offering
services.
