Colorado officials announced today the launch of a $130 million broadband project that will help provide high-speed Internet access for schools, libraries, healthcare facilities and government offices statewide.

The 4,600-mile fiber-optic network is scheduled to be completed in August 2013. Led by intergovernmental agency Eagle-Net, the network will serve as the "middle mile" connection. Last mile connections will be provided by companies such as Comcast and CenturyLink or other partners selected by participating organizations.
