After several years of growing need and community activism, the race is on to connect rural New Hampshire residents to the wider world at 21st-century speeds. And Carroll County is at the head of the pack.

Sandwich, the internet-neediest town in the county, has opened a door for the rest of Carroll County. Its town broadband committee (of which I’m a member) has been relentless in finding a way to make it happen. Sandwich residents also form the core of a group called New Hampshire Broadband Advocates (which I chair). I’m obviously biased, but others will testify that Sandwich got the ball rolling.
