Episode Details

Virginia’s broadband rollout hit a major snag when RiverStreet Networks, contracted to connect 14,000+ homes across three counties, delivered just 40. Now stripped of its state contracts, the job’s been handed to ZiTel of Moneta to finish the fiber optic work—delaying completion until 2027. The failure not only jeopardizes federal funding but also leaves communities without reliable internet for education, work, and healthcare. RiverStreet’s inability to secure financing has forced the state to step in, while also seeking repayment for unspent funds—a stark reminder of how critical dependable partners are in infrastructure projects.
