What are the County of Monterey’s Greatest Broadband Needs? Help Develop a Regional Broadband Strategy for ‘Last Mile’ Infrastructure

 

What are the greatest internet service needs in Monterey County? Tell them about it in a new survey - the second

phase of the County of Monterey’s efforts towards future broadband investment.

In January of 2023, the community chimed in with their first survey about high-speed internet service - where it is or is

lacking - to help build an accurate map of broadband service in our area.

This second survey focuses on needs which will help create a countywide Broadband Strategic Plan. Outcomes

of the survey will include the identification of underserved populations, priority projects, operational solutions,

and grant funding to outline options for high-speed, reliable and affordable broadband connectivity. These are

‘last mile’ projects to directly improve service.

Take the survey at MCBroadbandForAll.org. The speed test survey is also still active, and you can take both

which are available in Spanish and English.

This project is backed with federal funds secured by the Golden State Finance Authority (GSFA). The GSFA is a Joint

Powers Authority (JPA) governed by a Board of Directors comprised of elected members of the Board of

Supervisors from each of its 39 member counties. County of Monterey Supervisor Chris Lopez represents them on

the Board.

Questions? Please contact a consulting team hired by the County at broadbandinfo@teleworx.com and a member of the project

team will get back to you.
