From Aitkin County:
All Aitkin County Residents are asked to complete a market study for CBR: Accelerate! Program
For Immediate Release:
This market study, co-sponsored by Aitkin Growth, Kanabec County EDA, Pine County and Mille Lacs Corporate Ventures, is a first step to bring better and more affordable broadband (high-speed) Internet services to our region. Many of our rural residents and businesses experience some of the worst broadband in Minnesota. This is not news to you, but you might not know just how bad it is. In fact, Kanabec County ranks dead last (87th), Pine County ranks 84th and Aitkin 81st in the availability of high-speed Internet.
This short survey includes questions about current home Internet subscription and your use of and satisfaction with current broadband services. If you do not have a home broadband subscription, we would like to know more about that. The more we know, the better positioned we will be to develop broadband solutions for our region.
This information will be used to expand Internet access opportunities by government and local broadband provider partners. Providing your address will help us know exactly where better broadband is most wanted and feasible.
This is the link to this Market Study: http://z.umn.edu/uptospeed
If you do not currently have Internet, there is a paper version of this survey available by contacting Aitkin County Growth, Inc., at 218-927-2172.
In addition to the survey, we ask you to take the Minnesota Broadband Speed Test. That will provide solid evidence of our current Internet shortcomings. Or in some areas, the speed test will document the benefits of recent broadband investments.
This Survey will be “live” for one month, so don’t hesitate to complete it right away!
We have committed community teams working across the region on this project. Your input today will help us to be successful in getting our Internet “up to speed”!
