It's clear that you did know how deeply efn's problems lay--but your post
contending that efn/opn is over, at least as it pertains to a
not-for-profit/non profit entity dedicated to serving the local community--is
less than accurate and smacks of "after me, the deluge."
The new contract's straigtforward about EPUD's continuing commitment to OPN.
And if you know how f'd up the books were, you must also know how close the
business (efn) was to being seized by the IRS and the ODR for delinquent
taxes.
In that context, EPUD's buyout is the most amazingly hopeful thing that could
have come out of this near disaster. We accepted their offer because they
were committed to keeping OPN what is was.
And they (WE) are still the only not-for-profit ISP game in town.
