[1st-mile-nm] Colorado: Eagle-Net

[Richard Lowenberg]

Colorado officials today announced today the launch of the $130 million 
Eagle-Net broadband project. The project will be funded by a $100.6 
million federal grant from the NTIA Broadband Technology Opportunities 
Program and $30 million in matching funds and services from private and 
public entities throughout Colorado.

More information is available on the Eagle-Net web site, and in many 
news outlets today.   http://www.co-eaglenet.net/

EAGLE‑Net Alliance (EAGLE‑Net) is a Colorado intergovernmental entity 
which operates a cost-sharing cooperative that will deliver a carrier 
quality broadband network to more than 230 community anchor 
institutions. EAGLE‑Net is building a sustainable network to better 
connect education, libraries, government and health care facilities 
statewide. EAGLE‑Net also provides commodity Internet services with 
access to advanced research and education networks.

The Eagle-Net Network Map shows the Colorado community anchor 
institution locations and planned network routes, with estimated 
completion timeframes. The map will be updated monthly as construction 
progresses and routes on the network are connected.
