CHANUTE, Kan. (AP) — A small southeast Kansas town is facing another obstacle in its efforts to extend ultra-high-speed fiber broadband to its residents and businesses.

A 1947 state law on utilities will require the city of Chanute to get permission from the Kansas Corporation Commission to sell bonds to fund the city’s broadband project.

The Wichita Eagle reports Chanute’s project would extend some of the fastest Internet service in the country to a community of 9,200 residents. It would offer a download speed of 1 gigabit at an estimated cost of $40 a month for residents. That’s 14 times faster and 60 percent cheaper than the fastest Internet service now available to Chanute residents.

AT&T, one of two lower-speed broadband providers serving Chanute, has filed to intervene in the case.
