Is SVEC entering the broadband business? What does “SVEC will lease fiber space out” mean?

No, the cooperative may act as a “middle mile provider” and does not intend on being an internet service provider (ISP). SVEC may lease available fiber space to an ISP to facilitate broadband service to a member’s home. The cable that we are installing consists of multiple fibers. SVEC will only need a portion of those fibers to serve our electrical needs. The “extra” fibers may be leased to ISPs.
