ConnectKentucky Success Spurs Formation of a National Organization. "Connected Nation"

Since the launch of Kentucky’s Prescription for Innovation in late 2004, ConnectKentucky http://www.connectkentucky.org/ has facilitated efforts garnering unprecedented success in broadband deployment and technology advancement.

Currently, 94 percent of Kentucky households are able to subscribe to broadband compared to only 60 percent in 2001. At the end of the year, Kentucky will be the only state in the nation to have full broadband coverage — meaning every citizen in the state will be able to subscribe to some form of high-speed Internet. Utilizing what is becoming known as the Connected Nation model for technology expansion, ConnectKentucky has helped the commonwealth become a national leader in technology adoption and planning with a #1 ranking for growth in broadband technology.
