Grey County’s Rural Connections Partner Changes Ownership
Barrett Xplore Inc. Purchases Assets of Everus Communications
As of March 1, 2010 Barrett Xplore Inc. has purchased the assets and taken over the operations of Everus Communications.
Everus Communications successfully completed the first Rural Connections broadband project for Grey County in early 2008. After another competitive RFP process Everus was again chosen to build out the second Rural Connections broadband project in late 2008. The second project was held up due to Everus Communications’ financial situation.
Over the next 90 days, Barrett Xplore Inc. will be working diligently to ensure a seamless integration of all operational functions, minimizing impact to its new customers, with the goal of enhancing their broadband experience. During the transition, it will be business as usual for Everus customers while BXI continues to operate the Everus brand. Customer contact information, service packages, pricing, and billing practices will remain unchanged. Barrett Xplore will keep Everus customers apprised of any updates.
“Grey County is looking forward to working with Barrett Xplore to complete County Council’s vision of High Speed Internet availability for Grey County residents” says Warden Arlene Wright.
