A Call for a National Broadband Strategy
Broadband access, vital to live and commerce in America, begins with a National Broadband Strategy focused on accelerating universal adoption of high speed Internet.
Updates from Alabama
In his 2008 State of the State address, Gov. Bob Riley announced the Alabama Internet Initiative with a goal of ensuring that every home and every business in our state has high-speed Internet access and will have it within the next four years.
Since its inception in 2008, the Alabama Broadband Initiative, aka connectingALABAMA, has seen enormous growth and success. Static maps of all 67 counties, as well as statewide maps, are now available on our site. We conducted 1,600 residential surveys across the state to better understand broadband access and use. We are about to launch 8 regional teams to work with counties in identifying and addressing barriers to both supply and demand. We are excited to be an ambassador for IIA. Check out our website for more information: http://www.connectingalabama.gov, and let us know if we can ever help you in your efforts to implement a similar program.
