Limited high capacity fiber
Kentucky is 47th in the nation for broadband availability
23% of Rural population has no access vs. 1.5% in Urban areas
Only 30% of Eastern Kentucky households adopt broadband vs. 60% urban adopters at the Federal Communication Commission’s previous standard speed of 3 Mbps
Gap widens with the FCC’s new standard speed at 25 Mbps
Accessibility + Adequate Speeds + Affordability + Awareness = ADOPTION

Current State of Broadband
Middle Mile Network
Middle mile, a physical system of fiber optic cable that will allow broadband service to be brought closer to communities.
Think of KentuckyWired as an interstate highway system, connecting the worldwide Internet to “exit ramps” closer to a community.
