Funding for Broadband
Numerous studies have shown that access to affordable, high-performance broadband correlates with strong economic growth in rural areas as well as in urban and suburban locales. The team working on broadband issues at the University of New Hampshire has received millions of dollars of grants and funding to support more broadband throughout the state over the past 8 years. Here’s a list of the entities that have funded UNH efforts, and some specifics about the grants and awards, some of which remain active.
