| Quarterly Activities/Project Description |
NCTC has been aproved to provide Force Account engineering for the remainder of the BIP project. We have been working to put procedures in place to begin the buildout of mainline fiber in several project areas. We currently have 504.40 miles of mainline fiber under contract, and 4,494 fiber drops under contract. Construction in our Pleasant Hill are has begun, and we expect to have construction started in the area around our Westmoreland Central Office during 2nd quarter of 2013, as well as in the areas of Hogback and Fairfield Lodge. Construction is expected to begin in Pleasant Shade during the 3rd quarter and in Clark Hollow North and South during the 4th quarter of 2013. Construction is complete in Bethpage Phase 1 and Phase 2, Maple Grove, Lafayette, Oak Grove, Golf Course, Fairgrounds, and Defeated North and South. All of these projects are in final closeout process. We have succesfully been able to utilize the social media outlet, Facebook, to promote our new fiber services, which we have branded as FUSION. Facebook has allowed us to promote the areas in which we are deploying our fiber services, and it has also given our FUSION customers an outlet to use to tell NCTC, and in turn existing and potential customers, what they love about FUSION. We are also able to use Facebook to promote our video on demand service, customer contests, and our community involvement. During this 1st quarter of 2013, we were able to cutover an additional 584 customers in the stimulus project areas of Maple Grove, Bethpage, and Defeated. We now have 1,7ff residential and business customers with a FUSION fiber service package. |
