“Congratulations to all the folks who’ve worked for many years to advance broadband deployment and adoption in our region – including this effort to secure a redundant fiber optic network connection for Humboldt County. We’re particularly delighted that 101 Netlink, a locally owned broadband network operator, is now offering fully redundant Internet service to their customers, including Access Humboldt. We look forward to other internet service providers connecting to the new PG&E fiber, developed by IP Networks.

This broadband network deployment was made possible with substantial support from public agencies and forty percent funding from California’s telecom ratepayers. The new fiber connection is an important part of the overall broadband infrastructure needed to bring the Redwood Coast into the Information Age.”
