(IMPORTANT)Central Coast Broadband Consortium
The Central Coast Broadband Consortium is an ad hoc group of local governments and agencies, economic development, education and health organizations, community groups and private businesses.
Given the need for additional broadband resources during the coronavirus crisis, we have compiled this list of resources for those in need of internet access or technology tools. Please check back periodically as we will update this page with the most current information.
We are dedicated to improving broadband availability, access and adoption in Monterey, Santa Cruz and San Benito Counties, and has a long history of broadband development projects implemented by our members and as a group. The top priority of the CCBC is providing resources and incentives to telecommunications service providers, including local government agencies, to build broadband infrastructure and extend it throughout Monterey, San Benito and Santa Cruz counties.
