Dear Broadband Enthusiast,
This brief survey is intended to gather information from state level broadband efforts related to organizational structure, organizational objectives and barriers, and organizational funding sources.
Please take a few minutes to complete the survey so that all can learn from your example and build the organizational infrastructure necessary to successfully leverage broadband technology investments now and in the future.
Individual responses will be kept confidential, unless you indicate that they can be shared. Survey results will be published for public access.
