South Dakota State Government Undertakes Project to Expand Broadband Access

Posted on Monday, September 19, 2011 in General Blog Posts, BTOP/Stimulus, News, Internet, Connectivity, Community Service, Miscellaneous, Technology

The state’s Bureau of Information and Telecommunications (BIT) is collecting and compiling data on the availability and use of broadband services throughout South Dakota. In order to complete this major undertaking, the state is asking all citizens to take an online speed test. This data is then collected, analyzed and used to increase broadband access to underserved areas.

From live auctions to emergency assistance, broadband is making a difference throughout South Dakota.
