Pilot project bringing high-speed internet to Clearwater County
A pilot project led by a not-for-profit foundation is providing a fibre optic network that is now up and running in the Rocky area.
Several businesses are now accessing the Gateway project done by the Clearwater Broadband Foundation. The main goal of the pilot project is to serve as incentive for Clearwater County how it can bring high-speed internet access to residents and businesses.
Businesses have privately funded the foundation to help with the project. There is also a contract with Missing Link Internet, who is a service provider and manages the access for the network.
Officials say Missing Link was chosen due to their broader and local knowledge.
