Why is high-speed
internet important?
High-speed internet is no longer a luxury.
Digital connectivity is an integral part of everyday life. In many ways it has become a necessity for full community participation, employment, lifelong learning and access to essential services.
The Utah Broadband Center needs your help to make
high-speed internet available, accessible and affordable for every Utahn.
