Shumlin highlights expansion of cell service

BETHEL — Vermont Gov. Peter Shumlin says cellular telephone service is going to be getting better near the intersections of Vermont routes 12 and 107 in Bethel.
On Wednesday Shumlin and representatives of the Vermont Telecommunications Authority helped break ground on construction of a new 120-foot communications tower
The telecommunications authority is working with AT&T to erect the Bethel tower.
When the tower is completed it will provide cellular telephone and data services in what had been identified as one of many “drop zones” the state is working to eliminate.
