Lt. Governor Heidemann announced a broadband business project focused on improving efficiencies and drive growth through broadband technology. Over the next few months, businesses will be asked to conduct an online assessment of their use of broadband technologies. Businesses will either receive a personalized email requesting participation or can participate at the broadband website, http://go.unl.edu/broadband-for-business.
The survey results will provide valuable information on broadband usage by Nebraska businesses and will allow for a comparison of business broadband usage and impacts with peers nationwide. Additionally, up to 500 businesses who have completed the survey will receive a personalized scorecard and the opportunity to work with a business broadband coach. The scorecards will include ideas on how to better utilize broadband technologies and the potential return on investment when using various technology applications.
The University of Nebraska Extension can be a part of this effort by:
• Encouraging businesses in your region to participate in the survey
• Becoming a Broadband Business Coach.
