Congrats to Paulding Putnam Electric Cooperative and NRTC on this exciting step! #ruralbroadband #connectivity
NRTC representatives in August met in Paulding, OH, to begin planning fiber network construction with Paulding Putnam Electric Cooperative (PPEC). The rural northwest portion of Ohio that PPEC serves currently has some fixed wireless broadband in scattered areas. Construction of fiber-to-the-home service to vastly improve connectivity should begin in 2025. Pictured in the foreground (plaid shirt), NRTC Project Manager Josh Shoaf meets with (l-r) Nick Eltzroth, PPEC engineering manager, and NRTC planning engineers Jason Scott and Ben Chaney.
