Connected Tennessee Provides Broad Access for Broadband

0 Comments By 

A Nashville-based nonprofit called Connected Tennessee is working to bring broadband to the state’s rural areas.

Not sure what broadband is? It’s a high-speed Internet service that is faster and of higher quality than dial-up, and increasing its availability builds better business climates and enhances education.

Operating under the umbrella of Connected Nation, the independent organization needs input from people without broadband to aggregate the demand.

“In Lauderdale County, we were able to map the demand for broadband and present it to a broadband provider in that county, ECSIS.net, who then built out to meet the demand,” explains Mandy Hale, public affairs specialist for Connected Tennessee.
