Air of intrigue builds around pending Mi-Connection announcement

At the September 12th town Board meeting citizens got the first real update in years (maybe ever) on the financial health of Mi-Connection and what citizens should expect in coming years.  FY2017 numbers had just been published prior to that and the results were not good.

As aShortChronicle pointed out in this post, unless something changes future growth for the company appears to now be highly dependent on the growth in rooftops and businesses.  At the same time the company faces a more competitive marketplace with new service providers and more potential for churn between them.

At about the same time some interesting flyers started appearing around town and circulating on social media.  They were for a service called "Continuum" and the flyers also referenced a website called ourcontinuum.com.  The site registered people for a contest to win free service.  Below are a couple of screenshots from the site.

Several commenters on social media pointed out they thought it looked like Mi-Connection might be getting ready to re-brand itself.  Giving some credence to that idea, it was also pointed out that the PO Box on the flyers and website matched that for Mi-Connection.

aShortChronicle asked the Town of Davidson if these flyers were possibly a scam of some sort, not by the Town of course, but possibly as a way for a scammer to collect personal information.  The answer was that the flyers were "not a scam" indicating the Town did know about them.  The answer also said there would be an announcement of some sort coming from Mi-Connection in a couple of weeks.

That was on the 19th.   Now, this week, the ourcontinuum.com website is no longer active.

As September comes to a close, depending on what this pending (and intriguing) announcement turns out to be, this could make for an interesting "October Surprise" during the final weeks of an election season.
