Governor Mike Beebe signed the Connect Arkansas Broadband Act into law, in 2007, to ensure the creation of a competitive broadband, or high speed internet, infrastructure that will not only improve personal lives, but also the economic prospects of all Arkansans. Connect Arkansas, a private, non-profit, has since worked to promote and foster broadband education, use, and access throughout the State. Stay connected . . .
