Broadband report is issued
Gov. Chet Culver and the Iowa Utilities Board have announced what they say is a major step forward in the Connect Iowa initiative. A new, 58-page assessment details current broadband availability and usage in the state, defines where and why availability gaps exist, and offers policy recommendations to close those gaps. It is available at www.connectiowa.org. Connect Iowa is funded by a $2.2 million award by the U.S. Department of Commerce’s National Telecommunications and Information Administration.
