Learn more about the Broadband Initiative this week…

Here’s more from Victoria at the Economic Development Council:

OPALCO and the EDC Invite the Community to Broadband Forums
Join OPALCO and the San Juan County Economic Development Council (EDC) to learn more about the broadband project and to give your input and ideas at five Community Broadband Forums, on Lopez, Orcas, San Juan and Shaw islands, from May 14-16.

OPALCO is participating in the county-wide effort to expand broadband (high-speed internet) access to our members – reaching up to 90% of San Juan County. An OPALCO member survey in the fall of 2011 showed broad support and detailed studies are underway to determine the feasibility and potential business models for expanding service.
