As widespread access to broadband continues to lag throughout
much of Central and Western Massachusetts, GoNetspeed will host the
Massachusetts Broadband Legislative Summit on Monday, May 13th,
2024 to focus on innovative solutions to deliver broader access to
high-speed internet service. Information and registration are
available at www.gonetspeed.com/broadband-summit.
A space for civic officials, technology officers, internet
service providers, and economic development officials, the
Massachusetts Broadband Legislative Summit presented by GoNetspeed
will bring together leaders from throughout the Commonwealth for a
half-day event to improve access to broadband in Central and
Western Massachusetts.
“As we have worked to provide communities throughout the
Commonwealth with access to more choice and better speeds, we have
seen that due to the difficult pole application process, much of
the state is left behind without access to quality service
options,” said Richard Clark, GoNetspeed president & CEO. “By
bringing together industry, state, and civic leaders, we have
created a space to discuss opportunities and solutions to bridge
the quickly growing digital divide for the students, workers,
cities, towns, homes, and businesses that lack access to
high-quality, high-speed solutions.”
Representative Angelo J. Puppolo, Jr. and Senator Adam Gomez are
among the experts speaking at the Massachusetts Broadband
Legislative Summit. Other sessions will include discussions on the
status of broadband in Massachusetts, opportunities to bridge the
digital divide, implementation strategies, and more.
GoNetspeed will present the first annual Massachusetts Broadband
Legislative Summit on Monday, May 13, 2024, 8:00am-12:00pm, at
Springfield’s American International College. Event organizers
encourage civic officials, economic development leaders, and those
looking to advance broadband throughout the Commonwealth to
register soon as attendance is limited. For more information on the
summit and to register online, please visit
