I strongly agree with Lakegeezer. We cannot just think about what might work for one town or one county. There are far too many towns in NH that don’t have fast, affordable, reliable internet. Without decent internet, these towns will be left behind in the 21st century. Citizens will not have access to healthcare, jobs, and education opportunities that are increasingly available only to those have broadband. As this presentation from NHEC director Leo Dwyer makes very clear, broadband access for rural communities today is as essential as rural electrification was in the 1930’s. https://youtu.be/58_0-9oGVJs

From all the research that I and others have done, NHEC is uniquely positioned to offer an internet solution that works for all.
