The Kentucky Office of Broadband Outreach and Development and the Kentucky Council of Area Development Districts has launched a new survey as part of Broadband KY initiative to obtain direct input from the public about broadband access and use across the commonwealth.
The survey is part of a rigorous broadband mapping and planning project for Kentucky that will provide comprehensive, current, and accurate information on how Kentuckians use broadband. Surveys will be accepted through March 7.
“I have been trying to find a way to provide internet access for the entire county as I believe that it would greatly enhance our educational opportunities for all our citizens and provide a greater level of business opportunities, said Crittenden County Judge-Executive Perry Newcom. “Hopefully, this type of survey can add more credibility to the fact that we are in desperate need of access for our area.”
Surveys will be solicited via email, but can be taken by any Kentucky citizen using the website or paper surveys. More than 100,000 businesses, non-profits, health organizations, local governments, and households in Kentucky have received email messages this asking them to participate in the survey.
