OnFiber to Acquire Portland General

OnFiber Communications will acquire a majority of the assets and customer contracts of Portland General Broadband (PGB). PGB's 85 route mile fiber network, which was completed in 2003, serves Portland's business districts and major telecommunication traffic aggregation points, including Beaverton, Hillsboro, Tigard, Tualatin, Sherwood, Lake Oswego, and Milwaukie. The PGB network now becomes one of 16 major metropolitan area networks operated by OnFiber throughout the U.S. Financial terms were not disclosed. http://www.onfiber.com
