Broadband has quickly become the fourth utility. It is essential for communities to grow and thrive. Yet, many communities today, especially in rural areas, do not have broadband connectivity. Just as they built the necessary infrastructure to bring electricity to their communities in the 1930’s and 1940’s, electric co-operatives want to improve the lives of rural Americans by building broadband networks in their communities today.
As you start down the road to broadband, what should you consider to ensure success? To find out, please join Anthony Bednarczyk, Head of Fujitsu Broadband Practice, in this webinar where he will discuss the steps that every broadband project follows.
This webinar is directed at CEO’s, general managers, CTO’s and board of director members of rural electric co-ops, municipal electric utilities, counties, or cities, especially those seeking Rural Digital Opportunity Fund (RDOF) funding. This first webinar in our broadband series uses a real case study to illustrate one municipality’s journey down the road to broadband. You will find out what it took for them to build their network, how long it took, and the result they obtained.
