Show Transcript Good evening, Team Kentucky. This is Lieutenant Governor Jacqueline Coleman, and I am here with some good news items today and some information to share with all of you. Uh, related Thio a few initiatives. First, I m gonna start with the Kentucky Broadband Initiative. Reminder that we need every single Kentucky in to go thio speed test dot k y dot gov. In order to take the speed test, which will give us data, we need to build a map across Kentucky of the high end low points of Internet connectivity. That map then will provide guidance for our public and private partners to be able to help us spring broadband to the last mile on connect every Kentucky household that we possibly can to affordable, reliable Internet. And so
During Governor Beshear’s COVID-19 briefing on Thursday, Lieutenant Governor Jacqueline Coleman announced the launch of the Kentucky Broadband Speed Test, a project that will gather data from Kentuckians needed to expand internet access for distanced learning, and work.
According to Coleman, Kentuckians can take the test for free and remain anonymous, from January 19 to February 18 at ewdc.ky.gov/Initiatives/Pages/KBI.aspx.
You can take the test by connecting to their home Wi-Fi service and disconnected from a virtual private network.
For individuals without Wi-Fi, Coleman recommends visiting a local library, store, or restaurant that offers free internet access to submit the address of a home with no available service.
