Keep BT Local Cooperative

The Burlington City Council meets on Mondays, often three times each month at 7pm. Their meetings air live on Channel 317 (Burlington Telecom) and repeat on Channel 17 at the air times listed below.

Tom Torti joins Russ Scully and Dennis Moynihan to make recommendations on the upcoming sale of the City of Burlington's Burlington Telecom internet, phone, and television service provider.

Burlington, Vermont, City Council President Jane Knodell and Councilor Karen Paul are joined by Brian Lowe of the Mayor's office to announce changes to the process of the sale of the City of Burlington's municipally owned Burlington Telecom: a television, phone, and internet service provider.

City Council President Jane Knodell sponsors "Alternative Models for Burlington Telecom Forum" featuring Roberta MacDonald, Senior Vice President of Marketing, Cabot Creamery Cooperative and Kenneth Merritt, who led the drafting of the Vermont Benefit Corporation ("B Corp") legislation. Burlington Telecom is about to be sold. The question is, to whom -- A typical corporation or someone else? The City has received 8 bids to buy BT, representing a variety of business models. This event informs City councilors, BTAB (Burlington Telecom Advisory Board), and the general public about the benefits and costs of alternatives to the typical corporate model.
