Residents of 2 Casco Bay islands band together to bring high-speed internet to their homes
Discover how Fidium Fiber, in collaboration with residents, and a state agency, successfully brought high-speed internet to Great Diamond Island and Little Diamond Island in Casco Bay. Despite the challenges posed by the islands' remote location and sparse population, a successful project was completed, providing residents with faster and more reliable internet service. This endeavor, supported by funding from the Maine Connectivity Authority, demonstrates a commitment to expanding high-speed internet access to underserved communities, thereby enhancing educational, economic, and social opportunities for residents. Through public-private partnerships and innovative solutions, such as leveraging fiber optic technology, Fidium Fiber and its collaborators have contributed to narrowing the digital divide and improving connectivity for island communities.
