This article spotlights Petrichor, a corporation working with municipalities in Washington and Idaho to help communities apply for state and federal grants to build broadband infrastructure. Prior to forming Petrichor, its executive director, Joe Poire, built open access networks comprising more than 450 miles of fiber, which has resulted in competition in previously unserved markets.
The National Broadband Resource Hub is made possible through the generous support of the Ford Foundation and Schmidt Futures. The site is administered by the Broadband Equity Partnership.
