The Town of Sharon has received a proposal from Comcast to partner with it to wire the unserved homes in town that want to subscribe to Comcast internet. The cost to the town would be $1.6 million. Comcast commits in the proposal to getting the whole-town project finished within 6 months of securing the all necessary permits for utility pole licensing, underground conduit placement where existing utilities are buried, and other construction-related permits.

Meanwhile, Frontier presents ideas for fiber internet in Sharon. On Tuesday, November 1, 2022 Frontier executives talked to Sharon residents about the company’s internet plans and presented ideas on expanding those plans through a public-private partnership.
