LiveOak Fiber CEO Jody Craft said in a press release, “The reason why each of us come to work each day is to improve the quality of life in the communities we serve. This is why we’re fully dedicated to the ongoing deployment of our fiber network across planned, existing, and prospective communities: to deliver an unparalleled broadband experience.”
