Windstream “rock n roll” to deploy broadband

Windstream has several broadband projects in Missouri and dozens more across the country to expand and enhance accessibility. In Bolivar (Polk County), the construction crew uses a “rock saw” to cut through limestone and granite about four feet deep to make a trench. A second crew passes by rolling out fiber strand to bury. On a good day, the process can cover about 500 feet.

Regional planning meetings continue across the state

Regional Technology Planning Teams continue to meet to discuss short and long range broadband strategic goals. Members have been discussing how to expand and enhance accessibility, adoption, literacy and affordability to more homes and businesses. Thanks to the grassroots level of participation from citizens across the state. To read the strategic plan presentations click here.

FFA state convention brings broadband fans

MoBroadbandNow participated in the FFA state convention in Columbia. It was great opportunity to learn from the next generation of Missouri farmers and producers on what is important in the agriculture community. Broadband and high technology equipment will play a greater role with farming operations in the future. Nearly 600 FFA members took our broadband survey and provided great feedback. Congratulations to Jake Peak of Monroe County! He was the winner of our iPad giveaway.
