Lead The Way on Broadband in Maine: Become A County Connector!

Too many Mainers, especially those not living in Portland, Bangor and other cities, are routinely told that a broadband internet connection is just not possible. Or, it’ll cost tens of thousands to simply run a line to where they need it. A modern, fast, internet connection has become a requirement in today’s connected world. Sadly, Maine ranks 44^th out of all US states in connectivity. If our students, businesses, and health services are going to thrive, that needs to change. AARP has partnered with the Maine Broadband Coalition to begin building teams of local leaders as part of a County Connector program and finally establish a grassroots network to help build…the network! We have a huge opportunity in front of us with once-in-a-generation funding from the federal government, political agreement and motivation, and communities ready to roll up their sleeves and begin expanding access to the broadband infrastructure all Mainers deserve. We’re looking for folks looking to be on the ground floor of the broadband revolution here in Maine. Join our County Connector group and start learning what you can do to help usher in Maine’s connected future.
