I thought you might like to know that Metrocast has applied to be a CLEC and offer service in the Union Telephone service areas. No docket open as of yet, and who knows how long it will take, but the first step has been taken.
If you're interested in moving this along, perhaps call or email Metrocast's VP of Advanced Services, Josh Barstow, at
jbarstow@metrocast.com. This is something that I've been working on for a while now with another Alton citizen - we'd love the help!
