Welcome Message

Welcome to the Massachusetts Broadband Institute. Our mission is to expand affordable high-speed Internet or broadband access across the state. Broadband is critical to strengthening our economy, improving educational opportunities and enhancing the delivery of health care, public safety and other government services.

The Massachusetts Broadband Institute (MBI), a division of the Massachusetts Technology Collaborative, was created by legislation signed by Governor Deval Patrick in 2008. The MBI has the authority to invest up to $40 million in state capital funding for broadband-related infrastructure and improvement projects through the Broadband Act.

The MBI is working closely with municipalities, broadband service providers and other key stakeholders to create new economic opportunities and bridge the digital divide in Massachusetts.

Please explore our website to learn more about our activities in broadband infrastructure and development, mapping and broadband adoption programs. If you would like to receive email updates on our activities or follow us on Twitter, you can click here.

Sincerely,

Judith Dumont
MBI Director
