Lane County, OR Joins Technology Association of Oregon for SpeedUpAmerica. com

摘要

Broadband connectivity in rural communities is essential to long-term prosperity in Lane County. Recently, Lane County teamed with Technology Association of Oregon's Hack for a Cause event to develop a new solution - SpeedUpAmerica.com - that can provide accurate information about the availability of Internet Service Providers and real speeds received. "This issue isn't unique to Lane County, there are rural communities all across the country facing similar challenges to reliable, fast broadband access," said Lane County Commissioner Heather Buch. "We want to be a local solution to a national problem - we have created a tool that can give us the on-the-ground truth about what broadband access is like for rural Americans."
