Massachusetts ranks no. 2 in broadband adoption

One major initiative is MBI’s MassBroadband 123, a 1,200-mile fiber-optic, open-access
network, which will extend connectivity to more than 120 communities in both
western and north central Massachusetts. In western Massachusetts there are 45
municipalities categorized as underserved, meaning less than 50 percent of the
city or town has broadband. Construction of the MassBroadband 123 network is
slated for completion in the summer of 2013.
