Point Broadband announced that it installed services for its 1,000th customer in Leelanau County in late August. This marks a big milestone in their goal of reaching 96% of the 3,522 “unserved parcels/addresses” in the county by the end of the year – they may not all opt to sign up, but the goal is giving them the option for network connectivity.
But as a Leelanau Internet Futures Team (LIFT) update says, the work is not done. As of July, Point Broadband completed cabinet 10 in the central part of the county, which includes Lake Leelanau.
Also slated for completion in the third quarter of the year are cabinets 13 and 14, which include Omena and its surroundings, excluding Peshawbestown, and north and northeast of Northport, so the company can meet its goal of reaching the Grand Traverse Lighthouse by the end of the year.
