No, I don't believe so. Right now, the meetings are a local group of public agencies
trying to find a beneficial way for us all to coexist on the fiber backbone, and also
hooking to SUB's (Springfield Utility Board) fiber loop.
I think EWEB sent out a "look what we're doing, customers!" brochure to its customers
about a month ago that had info about the loop. It seems like they are eventually
wanting to provide broadbandish services to residentials. This is backed up by their
recent job posting for a network administrator, where as one of the job
responsibilities, it mentions the position may need to design a workable plan to
implement residential connections. This would be years into the future, however. I
don't think it'll happen anytime soon.
