Government Technology’s Top 25 Doers, Dreamers, and Drivers

We are honored to be named by Government Technology to be among the Top 25 Doers, Dreamers, and Drivers in the nation. We are passionate about the role local governments can play in expanding affordable, reliable, and high capacity connections to the Internet. Perhaps that is too clinical. We love helping communities to solve their broadband problems locally. We love finding new communities that have developed innovative solutions and then helping other communities learn from that approach. We love finding ways to help schools and libraries get better broadband connections at lower prices. We love seeing local businesses flourish because the community built infrastructure for itself that big cable and DSL companies neglected to provide. Thank you, Government Technology and all the others who have helped us to be effective in this space. We look forward to continuing our efforts and building better networks.
