Tompkins Weekly, September 27th, 2023, "Dryden Fiber project enters phase three"
The Dryden Fiber project recently entered phase three, as Dryden officials continue their mission of providing widespread broadband service.
Tompkins Weekly published a Dryden Fiber update in the Dryden Dispatch column on June 21, 2023.
The Town of Dryden is making moves as its municipal broadband project continues to gain traction.
The Dryden Town Board recently approved the hirings of a marketer and an installation coordinator for Dryden Fiber.
The Internet is the backbone of today's world, yet nearly 1 in 5 American households are unserved. $100B of federal stimulus is now starting to flow from numerous programs (ARPA, BEAD, RDOF), aiming to make high-speed internet accessible for all. Many regional service providers, utilities and municipalities already are building networks to support connections and bridge connectivity gaps.
Jason Leifer, Dryden Town Supervisor; Ryan Garrison, director of technology at HUNT Engineers, Architects & Surveyors; and Gina Nienaber, director of portfolio marketing at Ciena, join the podcast to discuss Dryden Fiber: a new municipal fiber network being deployed in Tompkins County, New York.
