David R. Hill formerly Chebeague.net, LLC 13 South Road Chebeague Island, ME 04017 Email ID: drhill@chebeague.net Phone No.: 207-846-4126	4/9/2023	In 2013, Chebeague.net, LLC installed 1.9 miles of fiber optic cable on Chebeague Island with no make ready charges from either CCI (FairPoint at that time) or CMP. This despite the fact that several make ready actions were taken to accommodate the new Chebeague.net, LLC fiber run. CCI's and CMP's current demand for make ready payments contradicts their prior policy and actions. This next incident may not directly pertain to the current make ready issue, but it does demonstrate CCI's integrity. In their 2013 application for Connect America Fund Phase I, CCI represented Chebeague Island as an unserved area. The letter from FairPoint to the FCC accepting their reward "certifies?that to the best of the knowledge of FairPoint Communications, these locations are, in fact, unserved by fixed broadband or served with low speed internet." The list of unserved census blocks included Chebeague Island. This statement was made despite the fact that not only was Chebeague served by fixed broadband at speeds in excess of low speed internet; it was served via lines leased from CCI at $16.75 per month per subscriber. This statement enabled FairPoint to obtain funding to run fiber under Casco Bay and to unfairly compete with the incumbent local ISP, Chebeague.net, LLC. Clearly, CCI knew or should have known that Chebeague Island was a served area with high speed internet. The letter from FairPoint to the FCC is attached. Please direct any questions regarding this testimony to David R. Hill at the listed address/email. David R. Hill Former Chief Operating Officer Chebeague.net, LLC (dissolved 2016)	FCC-Fairpoint-Award.pdf
Adam Kagan 43 South Rd Chebeague Island, ME 04017	4/8/2023	I am a home-owner on Chebeague Island. Our community formed a broadband committee (of which I am a member) and negotiated an agreement with a service provider to manage what will be a municipally owned fiber-optic broadband internet system. My comments herein are my own and are not intended to reflect the broadband committee or the Town of Chebeague Island. I speak solely for myself. My house is on a main street but currently is under-served with only (15/1) DSL internet service. The lack of broadband connectivity means I can't work remotely, even though my job permits it. This diminishes the value of my property and has an adverse impact on our community because families with children, (like mine) can't rely on the legacy copper internet connection (also provided by Consolidated Communications). Though Consolidated complains of an unlawful taking and federal pre-emption, the commission should reject those claims. The State is within its right to promulgate rules in this area and further, the utility poles which Consolidated is so concerned about, are in the public right of way. These sections of the law were written to encourage broadband roll-outs like the one intended for Chebeague. Though Consolidated wishes a lengthy fight, the Commission should order make ready to begin immediately, with money for same held in escrow pending the outcome of Consolidated's likely litigation. As a home-owner and business-owner, I understand Consolidated's desire to maximize the investment of its aging and ailing infrastructure. But the law clearly permits communities like mine to avail itself of these protections. I urge the commission to find for the Town of Somerville (and all the similarly situated small towns in Maine) and order Consolidated to proceed to make-ready without delay. Thank you for your service.
