NITCO to Build High-Speed Fiber Network in Town of Morocco

Northwestern Indiana Telephone Co. (NITCO) is building a high-speed fiber broadband network in the town of Morocco this year. The new network which the company will begin building in the spring will replace the cable system and will provide gigabit speeds for residents and will be the first fully fibered network in Newton County. NITCO says the construction of the new fiber network will serve nearly 500 homes and businesses.  NITCO Vice President’s Eric Galbreath and Tom Carroll met this week with the Town Plan Commission and announced the project. NITCO President Tom Long said “building fiber broadband networks for residential and business customers in northwest Indiana is our number one goal for 2022 and beyond. We are very pleased that the Town of Morocco supports and encourages the creation of the first gigabit community in Newton County.” Currently, NITCO serves 125 customers in the town with its cable, voice and internet service. NITCO plant design and project managers are in the process of designing the network and preparing for construction. Visit the NITCO website for more information.
