Fostoria is looking to save money with a new internet provider. The Review-Times reports Fostoria Council members heard a proposal from Amplex Electric Tuesday. The proposed deal would allow the company to install wireless equipment on top of the city’s twin water towers. In exchange, Fostoria would get backup services and emergency redundancy routing to the administration at no cost.

If the deal goes through, Fostoria could save money by getting rid of 17 analog phone lines and switching to voiceover IP. The deal also would allow the city to live stream video from the Fostoria Rail Park to try and draw in tourists.

Council took no action on the issue Tuesday.
