Transforming it into a local cooperative will ensure that taxpayers and subscribers reap the long-term benefits of a currently thriving telecom that is on track to net $3 million this year. The long-term payback of the Keep BT Local bid carries a current value of least $5 million more than its bid price through ongoing member dividends and lower prices. KBTL will also ensure that our community is not held captive by a private, for-profit telecom giant and that BT remains accountable to its members. https://actionnetwork.org/petitions/its-our-future-lets-keep-burlington-telecom-local
