Carroll County works on Frontier 911 contract and Spectrum savings

Carroll County is working on two telecommunications matters: a contract with Frontier connected to 911 service and possible savings on Spectrum internet service.

Frontier 911 contract

The county is negotiating with Frontier over a contract involving 911 service. The negotiations place the county’s emergency communications arrangement with the company under review.

The final terms of the contract have not been announced. The county has not identified a contract amount, an effective date or any changes to 911 operations.

Spectrum internet savings

Carroll County is also addressing the cost of its Spectrum internet service. The county is seeking savings connected to that service, but the amount of any reduction and the terms of a possible change have not been announced.

The Frontier contract and Spectrum savings are separate matters involving county telecommunications services. No final decision or completed agreement is identified in the announcement.

What happens next

The county’s negotiations will determine whether a Frontier agreement is completed and what terms it contains. Work on Spectrum service will determine whether the county secures a lower cost.

The county has not announced a final contract, a savings figure or a schedule for completing either matter.
