Summary
Commissioners said multiple providers including Spectrum and mobile carriers are expanding service to Rosine and parts of southern Beaver Dam; local officials said areas that previously lacked service are seeing new availability.
Ohio County commissioners reported that broadband and cellular service in parts of the county is expanding. County committee members said Charter Spectrum has begun outreach and customer acquisition in the Rosine area and that residents in the south Beaver Dam corridor have been contacted about service.
