Alexander County, NC improves connectivity during COVID-19 with broadband pilot
Alexander County and Open Broadband began with a 2019 pilot in Taylorsville. The broadband connectivity program expanded to Hiddenite, Rocky Face, and Stony Point in 2020. Open Broadband equipment at Linney Mountain Tower fills in gaps left by other providers at a competitive monthly price of $45. The partnership yielded public Wi-Fi at the county courthouse for students of schools closed due to the pandemic.
