The ERC is very thankful. And, it’s not to do with this time of year. We are thankful for each of you – our customers, our partners, our vendors, our subcontractors, our advisors, our friends. By working with us, each of you help us succeed. The ERC has long touted itself as a community network. Like the Internet, ERC Broadband is comprised of all our connections throughout communities across western North Carolina. Each connection we make, each extension of the network infrastructure, each new drop enables us to serve you – the communities in which we work – better.
For this and so much more, please accept this brief note as a heartfelt ‘thank you’.

The Huffington Post just wrote an article about cities that are becoming hubs for development of sustainable (green) technologies and they named Asheville as “one to watch”. Check out the article.

The ERC was named a finalist for the Communications Technology Company award by the North Carolina Technology Association (NCTA). The NC Tech Awards, held on November 6 in Raleigh, will highlight and recognize the “companies and individuals who have characterized excellence, innovation and leadership” in technology across the state. The Communications Technology Company award highlights a product or service that demonstrates industry leading performance and/or achieves a milestone of notable success.
The ERC is very proud of its long-term association with NCTA, and especially of this award nomination. Congratulations to the ERC team!

There’s a lot of talk about Google Fiber offering gigabit Internet speeds in Charlotte and Raleigh. RST says it’ll offer these speeds by this summer in Charlotte, Raleigh, and Asheville. They plan on providing the last mile wirelessly.
