Waverly Utilities served as the host for the Forum, a return to having IAMU broadband meetings in member communities. Waverly Utilities hosted tours of their facilities on the afternoon of October 24th and 25th.  Waverly's Telecom Director, Jeff Magsamen, kicked off the Tuesday discusison with an overview of the history of the fiber utility, which has rapidly grown during its six years of operations. Waverly's story was of special interest to representatives of two Iowa communities that are building or planning to build municipal fiber networks.
