After initially tabling the idea of bringing fiber broadband services to members, Osage Valley Electric Cooperative had a change of heart when leaders heard Conexon Founding Partner Randy Klindt speak about potential RDOF opportunities for the co-op's service territory. Jarrod Campbell, CEO of Osage Valley Electric Cooperative, sits down with Abby Carere, Conexon's SVP of Sales, Marketing, and Account Management, to reflect on how Conexon's feasibility study and change in business strategy during the RDOF auction allowed Osage Valley Electric in partnership with Conexon to hit the ground running with its fiber project.
