Maine Fiber Company (MFC) is a dark-fiber leasing company supporting all service providers, public sector, and enterprise customers with access or transit requirements in Maine.

The network is funded by a combination of a federal grant and private investment. The MFC mission is to enhance ´middle mile´ fiber access for carriers looking to provide quality access services to customers in many areas of Maine, including some of the most rural areas of the State.
