Business Comments:
“Very good initiative for Anoka County to attract or improve climate for current businesses.” Green Bay Packaging, Inc. Coon Rapids
"I am a national sales rep who works from home and only have the option of dial up or satellite. When it is foggy, rainy or snowing I lose service. On average I lose 25 hours per month of work time due to weather-related outages. This loss of time does not include the slow speed. I would say I could save roughly 2 hours per day of work time by having broadband speed. This would allow me to build my business and hire new employees." Debbie Hatton, Hatton Corp St. Francis
“Anoka County will attract more business by improving communication capabilities, especially through faster internet connections” Kesavan Potti, artist and small business owner Blaine
“If Anoka County would put something in place that would provide high-speed internet connectivity at a reasonable price, it would be a great way to promote the area and get people to move here.” Nowthen resident
“Improved broadband connectivity would allow us to save time and travel cost by sharing large files electronically. This would lead to increased productivity and possible job growth.” Wishes & More Fridley
