CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. – Last night, Rossville City Council approved the
signing of a franchise agreement with EPB for Fi TV service. Earlier
this year, similar franchise agreements were signed with the cities of
Chattanooga, Red Bank, and East Ridge, as well as the Ridgeside
community.
“We are moving forward by working with all the different communities in
our customer service area,” said Greg Eaves, EPB’s Sr. Vice President
of Finance and CFO. “This ensures that every customer in our customer
service area has access to next generation communications services,
just as soon as we can get them there.”
EPB has stated that they chose to negotiate franchise agreements with
each individual community within their 600 square mile customer service
area to have a better understanding of individual community needs, the
interests of their customers, and to promote economic development.
EPB is currently testing their EPB Fiber Optics services in volunteer
customer homes. They plan to have services available to all customers
within the city limits of Chattanooga, East Ridge, and Red Bank by
July, 2010.
