KENTUCKY EFFORT ON BROADBAND HAILED AS A MODEL
[SOURCE: Louisville (KY) Courier-Journal, AUTHOR: Bill Wolfe]
ConnectKentucky, a program for expanding high-speed Internet access throughout the commonwealth, is being held up as a model for a proposed federal program. The statewide effort in the past two years has helped increase broadband Internet use by 50 percent and has brought access to an additional 518,000 previously unserved Kentucky households. Currently, 93 percent of Kentucky homes can access broadband, and ConnectKentucky expects every household to be capable of using high-speed Internet by the end of the year.
