Hiawatha Broadband Proposal Progress

• Reduced CARES Act request to $800,000

• Increased HBC contribution to $450,000

• Fiber and Wireless Hybrid proposal covering rural

• 835 unserved/underserved homes and businesses

• Short construction period requires timely decision

Hiawatha Broadband (HBC)


T-Mobile - meeting with Social Services as hot spot proposal aligns closely to the

Social Services request

SE Wireless – has no more capital to invest than offered, partially redundant with

HBC request

Gigabit – talking with CDA, some buildings have already agreed to exclusivity with

other providers

Access Communications – Already agreed to covering 2 townships (wireless),

does the County want to allocate $ for wireless service?
