The crucial next step in the fiber internet network planning process is a community survey that we need 20-30% of households to fill out. This survey is the only way we can understand where the gaps are in current infrastructure.
Please take a moment to fill out this SHORT survey, which is being hosted and found at the North Country Council’s website: www.nccouncil.org/broadband. If you have questions about the project, there is also an FAQ at the link above. Lastly, please help us spread the word by forwarding this email to your friends and neighbors.
Please help pitch in, so that we can all have a great broadband connection!
