From the meeting
The town reported its broadband system is now stable after completing redundant backhaul with three separate physical internet connections. Verizon has notified customers it will terminate copper plain old telephone service (POTS), so remaining wired phone users may need alternatives. Whip City Fiber is offering 1 Gig service, Economy service, and Ooma voice over internet protocol (VOIP) phone options, which makes this a follow-on telecom and migration opportunity.

Questions about this project
What is a pre-RFP?
A pre-RFP is an early indicator that a government agency is planning a purchase — a project discussed in a board meeting, a budget line item, a new hire, or a grant award — captured before a formal RFP or bid is published. Acting on pre-RFPs gives SLED and B2G vendors months of lead time to build relationships and shape requirements.

Pre-RFPs typically surface 6–18 months before a formal solicitation is published. Civic IQ tracks Town of Rowe's meeting records, agendas, and budgets continuously and updates this pre-RFP as the project moves through the buying cycle toward an RFP.
