MISSION STATEMENT
Peninsula Broadband for All
The Peninsula Utility for Broadband (PUB) advocates for fast, flexible, affordable and reliable internet to incentivize business, support schools, advance the quality of healthcare, connect homes and facilitate long term education and socialization of our rural communities.
Who are we?
The Peninsula Utility for Broadband (PUB) is a coalition of town working groups that seeks to enhance the quality of life and develop opportunities in education, health care and job creation through significantly improved Internet built to address today, and more specifically, the future. The PUB now represents all towns on the Blue Hill Peninsula and Deer Isle/Stonington to include: Blue Hill, Brooklin, Brooksville, Castine, Deer Isle, Orland, Penobscot, Sedgwick, Stonington and Surry.
We meet monthly to share information and discuss opportunities for the Peninsula-wide and Island communities, with collaboration to more effectively work common issues and coordinate meeting attendance, consolidate resource documentation, share planning development and insights, as well as lessons learned from the group and others.
The PUB's focus is on synergizing efforts of the communities represented, as well as the efforts of other state and national groups working toward the same or similar goals. Each committee/working group and their associated town will educate and advocate Broadband/Internet service, which is affordable and available to all.
synergizing = combine or coordinate the activity of (two or more agents) to produce a joint effect greater than the sum of their separate effects.
