The Centerville city council will vote tonight on using RDA funds to spur UTOPIA construction in business areas. The meeting is at 8:30PM at 250 North Main St. Qwest is still rattling its saber on this one, so having supporters present is going to be really important.

My understanding is that there it is not likely that there will be any vote tonight on any funding. I believe there will likely be a discussion on the topic, and a decision to send a letter back to Qwest explaining Centerville’s position on the matter.
Thanks for the clarification, Paul.
While I cannot offer a valid opinion on if the Qwest complaints are valid or not, I can say “hat’s off to Centerville” for seeing that they should be doing everything possible (legal) to help make UTOPIA successful.
If I were a UTOPIA city, I would put the fear of god into my citizens by telling them how bad things will be if UTOPIA can’t pay the bond. How they will be paying for the network one way or another. Either as a customer, paying for service or as a taxpayer.
You may as well get something for your money and sign up with UTOPIA…and do it NOW!!!!
Provo would do well to try and get their citizens to sign up with Broadweave.
The real difference between success and failure for these networks is gaining (and keeping) customers. Little else matters.
