The NBBC is a robust network of “Internet Service Providers (ISPs) working together to ensure the provision of cutting-edge technology services to countless rural areas across the state. These state-of-the-art services include High-Speed Transport for seamless connectivity, Utility Marking & Asset Protection for infrastructure safety, Dark Fiber Leasing for enhanced data transmission, Colo for secure data center solutions, Fiber Splicing for optimal network performance, and Project Management to oversee the implementation of these transformative initiatives efficiently.

Through NBBC (National Broadband Cooperative), these companies passionately advocate for public policy goals that strive to improve the lives of Hoosiers living in rural areas. This includes ensuring access to state-of-the-art communications and high-speed internet services at reasonable prices, regardless of their address or location. By bridging the digital divide and fostering connectivity, the NBBC aims to empower individuals and communities with equal opportunities for growth and progress in today’s increasingly interconnected world.

Today, an internet connection is necessary for school assignments, healthcare, communicating with friends, finding a job, and starting a business. Many people consider broadband or high-speed internet as the 4th utility. While broadband service is now available to most Americans, many families remain unconnected to this vital network. Our members are committed to closing this digital divide by promoting the benefits of broadband, encouraging families to connect, and offering programs that help families overcome barriers they may face.

The internet powers the economy, inspires our imaginations, and provides an essential connection to family and friends. Yet some communities in rural America have yet to be connected, leaving an estimated 23 million people without access to fast, reliable broadband. Our members are committed to being part of the solution, building out high-speed networks to all corners of the country. However, in some hard-to-reach areas, government support is needed for cable or other providers to offer service. But some simple changes to federal programs will encourage participation by all providers, quickly speeding up deployment in these areas. We want to ensure that all residents of our respective communities— whether in rural communities or large cities—have access to our nation’s opportunity infrastructure.
