- If only achieving broadband improvements were this simple! Like flipping a switch – click! Unfortunately, as Bernadine said, if you are participating in this webinar, you understand that can be a very difficult path towards ensuring that your community has broadband infrastructure and services that, at a minimum, meets state broadband goals and ideally positions your community for growth.
- This table BEGINS to demonstrate the depth and complexity of the community broadband development process. I know that some of you have been working on this process for several years. If you were to map your efforts, there would be many more arrows on this page, most pointing back towards the beginning, engaging multiple times with incumbent and prospective providers as well as repeated efforts to engage local elected leadership. In addition, some community efforts begin someplace in the middle of the chart and circle back towards the first and second columns. Other communities, with better luck, managed to skip many of these steps due to quality private sector partners or extraordinary local elected officials. Some with little struggle have moved almost directly to the Celebrate phase! Lucky them!
