<p class="MsoNormal">I know about a large percentage of the fiber projects around the country and I’ve never heard of them. I did only a quick web search but I can’t find any communities where they’ve partnered and built – but it might be done under a different
name as part of partnerships, etc. <u></u><u></u></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">My guess is that they are new and want to build fiber. It never hurts to talk to anybody. However, I’m a bit leery that the first step they describe is for a city to inquire and they then create a local office. That sounds a bit like the
first step is to hire them as a consultant. If they are in the business of building fiber, like they say, that would be their marketing expense – but perhaps I’m being cynical and overly cautious.

<p class="MsoNormal">Would love to hear from somebody if they are real and have built projects.

<p class="MsoNormal">Wondering if anyone has spoken or worked with Wyrred (<a href="https://www.wyyerd.com" target="_blank">https://www.wyyerd.com</a>/), which offers to closely partner with communities. In fact, that’s its whole business model. I was recommended to them
by the Arizona Commerce Authority. What’s been your experience?<u></u><u></u></p>
