Imagine cruising on the moon in a high tech rover that can withstand temperatures that swing between a sizzling 250 degrees Fahrenheit during the day and an unbelievably chillly 208 degrees below zero, at night.

If Summit County Council approves later this month, the first phase of what could eventually become a nearly half a billion dollar broadband expansion project will soon get underway. As envisioned now, the project could one day both improve emergency communications and other government operations, as well as help county residents who don't currently have access to reliable and affordable broadband connections, finally bridge the “digital divide”.
