As I mentioned earlier, the purpose of the program was to work with communities and the private sector to build partnerships for areas not covered by a business plan or business case. That enabled private companies to deploy broadband services. Through the partnerships, solutions were offered to those communities, whose access to broadband services had been either non-existent or very poor. Through the program, people received viable services that they were able to pay for.
