Verizon Lawsuit Over Chilmark Antenna Review Settles
Chilmark’s select board unanimously approved Verizon’s wireless-equipment application after Verizon sued in federal court over alleged gaps in the board’s review process and a denial meant to redirect Verizon to another provider. The town agreed to reconsider and vote to grant all 14 antennas within 14 days, while planning further steps to improve phone service and require fiber replacements for customers requesting landlines.
