KentuckyWired achieved an important milestone this week.The broadband project reached 1,000 miles of its planned 3,000-mile network.Phillip Brown, Executive Director of Kentucky Communications Network Authority said, “Obtaining the necessary pole attachment agreements to use over 70,000 utility poles owned by over 70 different entities was a slow process. Now, with all of those agreements finalized and make-ready construction increasing, the actual process of hanging fiber cable is picking up rapidly.”The project is on track to be completed in October 2020, according to KentuckyWired’s news release.
