Key Study Findings / Recommendations

•    The study provides a general design model that can be replicated throughout the County and it should be utilized as the guide for implementing broadband in the County.

•    We knew we had issues, but this study defines how poor our service is in the County which will help enable grant funding.

•    While there are significant public resources available for broadband, it will still require local investments to accomplish the countywide vision.

•    Broadband is not a luxury, it is a necessity like electricity.

•    Like electricity, it will require partnership between the private and public sectors.

•    Door County needs a dedicated “leader and champion” for the overall broadband strategy to be successful.

•    To accomplish a federated network, we will need to work together to ensure connectivity and efficient use of funds.

•    We will need to build partnerships with potential Internet Service Providers (ISPs) to be successful.

•    It will take time and persistence at the local, county and state level.
