Broadband - Southeast Nebraska Development District

Broadband

SENDD has been a statewide leader in grassroots broadband development for many years. To better understand the state’s broadband capacity, the SENDD in partnership with the Nebraska Regional Officials Council (NROC) launched a crowdsourced statewide broadband speed mapping initiative. As broadband has become an increasingly important part of life, creating an affordable and accessible statewide network is critical for growth. COVID-19 and pandemic living conditions further intensified this.
