What it means for contractors
Fiber locations are the ones that turn into construction: underground and aerial placement, boring, splicing, drops, and restoration. The providers that won these areas build them, often with subcontractors. Check the Connecticut broadband office's BEAD page for the providers selected in each area. Those providers, and the primes they hire, are who to call about sub work.
