Serious question, but how does a town/municipality handle network maintenance? Many of these stories seem to feature a lot of grants, and one-time costs but I don't see much about the cost required to upgrade the network over time. I'm assuming some of the fee users pay is earmarked for this?
All 8,500 residents have access to gigabit for $57/mo.
