Community Broadband Networks

Community broadband networks are local internet service initiatives created and operated by communities, often in response to inadequate services from traditional providers. These networks aim to provide high-speed internet access, usually built by municipalities or cooperatives, ensuring better connectivity for residents and businesses. They can be more affordable, enhance digital inclusion, and foster local economic growth. By investing in their own infrastructure, communities gain greater control over pricing and service quality, ultimately improving access to reliable internet for everyone in the area.
