Broadband Communities 2014 Summit
PANGAEA Internet was the first Cornerstone Award winner in the fiber network era. Ken Rossen was the “cornerstone” Executive Director of e-polk/PANGAEA Internet in 2004.

 

As an attendee of the 2014 Summit of Broadband Communities our Executive Director, Ron Walters, had this to say:

  “Since winning the Cornerstone Award in 2004, PANGAEA Internet’s nonprofit fiber network has grown tremendously and the Summit always provides a great opportunity to meet potential partners to help us sustain our momentum and dramatic community impact.”
