One Step Closer to High-Quality Internet
The Huachuca City Public Library is one step closer to providing high-quality internet service to its patrons. The library has accepted a provisional bid to bring in leased-lit fiber and filed for federal and state funding through the FCC’s E-Rate program and Arizona State Broadband Initiative to pay for it. If funded, the upgrade will provide a 500 Mbps internet connection to the library. Such speed would have a tremendous positive impact, greatly improving and expanding digital services at the library.
