Maryland Broadband Cooperative is a non-profit dedicated to providing world class Internet transport services in Rural Maryland. Their goal is to help Internet Service Providers bring new and/or better services to areas that lack either access or competition. Until recently, there were limited capabilities in Southern Maryland; however, as part of their participation in the State’s One Maryland Broadband Network, they now have 5 Points-of-Presence and control over 150 miles of fiber-optic backbone in all three counties. They hope to assist ISPs and other Cooperative Member institutions to obtain the services and access they need in Southern Maryland.
