Ashland
— The Ashland City Council voted last month to keep its
debt-mired Ashland Fiber
Network but charge all but low-income households between
$10 and $21 per month for its basic Internet and television
services. The Council also decided to allow outside businesses
to use AFN’s infrastructure to sell services to
residents. The city will save money by getting out of the cable
television service while staying in the money-making Internet
service business. Ashland Mayor John Morrison named Joseph
Franell as the new AFN director.
