Thurman — The town of Thurman may soon enter the digital age, if plans for a public-private partnership for establishing wireless broadband access in the mountainous municipality becomes reality.
Plans to develop a new townwide system of “white-space” broadband access were presented at a public meeting Wednesday Jan. 25 by Thurman Town Supervisor Evelyn Wood and Fred Engelmann, CEO of Rainmaker Network in Chestertown.
Engelmann said that if broadcast trials prove the new technology works well in Thurman’s terrain, broadband could theoretically be available to local residents as soon as this summer. The broadcast trials are expected to begin in two months.
