   Consolidated Communications laid out plans to deploy fiber to more   
   than 19,000 locations across Vermont next year, using a combination of   
   its own money, federal funds and a state grant from the Vermont   
   Community Broadband Board. The news comes as the operator hustles to   
   expand its Fidium Fiber footprint at a rapid clip, aiming to reach a   
   total of 2 million passings by the end of 2025.   
      
   The operator said in a press release it plans to invest $10.8 million   
   to run fiber to 13,000 locations across Vermont in 2023. This rollout   
   will be partially funded by federal money it won in 2020’s Rural   
   Digital Opportunity Fund (RDOF) auction. Consolidated snagged $19   
   million in the auction to help it cover more than 10,123 locations in   
   Vermont, with the support set to be distributed over a 10-year period.
