H. Rose Schneider reports in The Altamont Enterprise that in Westerlo in Albany County there was discussion of broadband and cell service at the town meeting March 7. Dorothy Verch, chairwoman of the town’s Broadband Committee, said the committee is looking to identify areas just outside Westerlo where Mid-Hudson Cable could expand internet coverage. Verch is gathering data for a presentation at the April town board meeting, so that Mid-Hudson Cable can be approached in May. She noted that plans for the county to expand internet to the Hilltowns would likely not reach Westerlo, as internet and cable companies besides Mid-Hudson Cable have not expressed interest in the area. The application for Tarpon Towers’ 120 to 140 foot cell tower, on Route 405, was moved to March 28, with a visibility test Monday, March 20, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. “People will be able to get the feeling of what the tower will look like in that area,” said Verch. NOTE: Mid-Hudson Cable is an underwriter on WGXC. Read the full story in The Altamont Enterprise.
