As Colorado Springs continues to expand its public services, the city has forged a new partnership with portfolio company Underline, the infrastructure company deploying open access community fiber networks. Underline has commenced construction of the nation’s first open access 10 gigabit network in the area - and built at no upfront cost to the city or taxpayers, the network, Underline: Colorado Springs, will lay the foundation for remote work, remote learning, and continued business and job formation.
“Access to high-speed internet is a major factor as businesses grow locally or make plans to relocate into Colorado Springs,” said Dirk Draper, President & CEO, Colorado Springs Chamber & EDC. “The addition of the nation’s first truly open access 10 gigabit network is a significant asset to our region, allowing businesses to innovate while relying on this enhanced infrastructure in our community. We welcome Underline to Colorado Springs.”
