No internet: The high cost of connecting Maine

This two-part report is part of a continuing series on poverty in Maine, and the strangling effect poverty has on our communities. We look at how vital broadband accessibility is for our schools, our businesses and our health. The work is being done in cooperation with the Investigative Editing Corps.

NEXT SUNDAY: We examine the role regulation and mapping have played in actually confounding efforts in Maine to enhance coverage and in some cases even preventing towns from bettering service for residents and businesses.

And we look at one island community that’s become a role model for internet connectivity.
