Wyoming Community Anchor Institution Broadband Access Survey

Community anchor institutions play a critical role in facilitating greater use of broadband by unserved and underserved populations. Your responses to this brief survey will help Wyoming identify programs to advance residents’ opportunities to use broadband to work, learn, receive health care, and participate in civic events. This information will be an important part of Wyoming’s work toward achieving statewide universal access to high-speed broadband with federal funding through the Broadband, Equity, Access, and Deployment (BEAD) and Digital Equity Planning programs.
