One of the technology consultants working on a broadband plan for the town of Orick in California redwood country recommends a strategy for other communities planning broadband networks.The town of Orick, California, tucked among the redwood forests of northern California, is studying implementation of a public broadband network. Tina Nerat, a board member of the Redwood Technology Consortium and co-owner of Neratech technology consultants, reviewed the strategy proposed for the Orick plan in a recent local newspaper column and recommends it for other communities planning broadband networks.
“It’s key is that each community who wants broadband “take charge’ of its future,” Nerat writes in her column for the Times-Standard.
Her company is one of three that contributed to Orick’s recently completed wireless broadband business plan. Commissioned by HumboldtCounty, the plan set forth a methodology that other areas in the county could use and that Nerat recommends for any community planning a broadband deployment.
