Dear Eric,
 
            It was a great pleasure meeting you yesterday at the Wired West meeting in Northampton.
 
            I want to personally thank you for your strong and unequivocal support for letting the towns decide who will own the future broadband network in our towns.
 
            In addition, I want to thank you for your strong support for wanting to work in a close and collaborative manner going forward with WiredWest.
 
            As I mentioned to you last night, I have been working to bring broadband to underserved towns since 2006. I was part of the early organizing efforts of broadband committees across western Mass. to come together as a united voice for own towns that eventually led to the formation of WiredWest.
 
            WiredWest is the voice of the 32 towns in western Massachusetts who have committed so far to the fiber project, and we very much look forward to working with MBI to ensure that this is a highly successful project.
 
            There is a great deal of enthusiasm for being part of the Wired West network here in Wendell, as we already are 61% of the way to meeting our minimum goal of signing up 40% of households in our town.  Wendell, along with our bordering towns of Shutesbury and New Salem are among the top four towns in the WiredWest network with the most household sign-ups to date.
 
            I personally look forward to working with you and other MBI staff to ensure that the fiber project is a success here in Wendell and in our region.
 
Best regards,
 
Robbie Leppzer
