The Partnership for a Connected Illinois (PCI) invites you to participate in a vital survey on Internet use and broadband benefits. A central goal of the program is to ensure that high-speed Internet access is made available to the communities and residents that need it most.
Investment toward establishing affordable broadband services is essential for the long-term well being of organizations and households in the State of Illinois.

The race for ultra high-speed Internet throughout the state has begun. Governor Pat Quinn recently announced details of the Illinois Gigabit Communities Challenge, a competition that will award up to $6 million in capital funding to the most promising high-speed Internet deployment projects.
“Through this challenge, we want our neighborhoods to become Gigabit communities with Internet connections more than 100 times faster than today,” said Quinn in his Feb. 1 State of the State address. “Our goal is to build smart communities that will foster the job engines of the future."
