Colorado communities banding together for better, faster regional broadband internet

Local governments in Colorado want to buy better broadband and are pooling their resources to do it. It's called Project THOR, the brainchild of the Northwest Colorado Council of Governments. It's designed to deliver faster internet at lower costs around the region. Project THOR has two main goals: 1) To make broadband better and faster across Northwest Colorado's rural areas. 2) To improve reliability of the regional broadband network, which is currently prone to mass failures when a fiber line goes down in a single place.
