Holland City Council supportive of public broadband project
HOLLAND Holland officials were enthusiastic about the city s continued pursuit of a publicly owned broadband infrastructure build-out as they were updated on the project s status in a Wednesday city county study session.
The project as it is currently being discussed would involve the construction of an open-access fiber optic network reaching the entire city.
Internet service providers would be able to use the public infrastructure to bring reliable, high-speed internet to consumers. Consumers could also choose to have the Holland Board of Public Works as their internet service provider. HBPW has about 100 customers, mostly small businesses, in its downtown internet utility service area, which began as a pilot program in 2017.
