In a recent webinar, two officials from the Northwest Colorado Council of Governments shared how several Colorado communities have worked together to expand broadband to rural parts of the state.

Andy Atencio, Summit County’s information systems director, said the biggest benefit of the project is that it provides “redundant and resilient” internet access. This means that instead of having one single network that can be interrupted during construction or service projects, the Project Thor has created multiple paths through the broadband service hubs, known as Meet Me Centers, in Breckenridge and Frisco. “That means that if the fiber going north down Highway 9 somehow gets cut or compromised or is broken in some way … there is actually a secondary route that goes up over the pass and down (U.S. Highway) 285 and back down into Denver, so service is not lost,” Atencio said.
