The Initiative promises high-speed service for every city household for just $18 a month
, as council questioned how DigitalC would adapt from its existing base of about 2,000 customers to city-wide coverage, citing DigitalC’s previously failed efforts to come through on promises of rapid expansion.
In Thursday’s Utilities Committee meeting, council members amended the legislation to require DigitalC meet annual performance standards for both signing and keeping customers. EmpowerCLE+ has an internal commitment to sign up 23,500 households but, unlike traditional low-cost internet initiatives, its high-speed network will be available to all 170,000 Cleveland households.
“It still is a necessary shift in the marketplace where, if I'm another internet provider, I now know I've got an affordable option so I can’t nickel and dime everybody to death,” Edmonds said in May. “Even if someone doesn't take [DigitalC Wi-Fi] we’re the necessary cloud that is gonna be hovering over–an affordability cloud that at any given point, we can make it rain.”
