There is a clear, justified demand for broadband services across the state. New technologies provide opportunities for existing providers to expand their footprint and service offering and for new providers to enter existing or greenfield markets. New applications and renewed promoting initiatives support increasingly powerful and interesting business cases for entering the market. Increasing demand for IP access to support instrumentation (IoT) makes broadband access more economical at remote locations. State and federal funding supports the buildout of broadband infrastructure in rural North Carolina.
