The C Spire Rural Broadband Consortium webpage is here! Now you can more easily follow the group’s research and testing efforts. The consortium is a partnership between C Spire, Microsoft, Siklu, Airspan and Nokia, researching how high-speed internet can affordably be brought to rural America.

On the page, you’ll learn about the consortium’s challenges, goals, and, most importantly, findings through blog posts, whitepapers, testimonials, and case studies. And speaking of whitepapers, the consortium’s first look at the rural broadband divide in the US and Mississippi is available now for download. The paper, “Understanding the Rural Broadband Problem,” explains the importance of broadband access in rural areas, as well as the challenges communities are facing in getting it.

Download the whitepaper and learn more at the C Spire Rural Broadband Consortium webpage.
