Better Broadband Toolkit (Ethos Group)
Models, tools, success stories and guides that will make broadband better in your community?
Our Better Broadband Tools section
is a good place to start. We've selected a few resources that we think
will help you see the "big picture." You'll also find some resources
that we've created for you here.
The three tool sections - Choices, Process and Impact
- help establish a narrative to get you started on the journey to
Better Broadband. The downloadable charts and documents in this section
are a real treasure trove of information to break through the jargon.

In our Better Broadband Library,
we've collected hundreds of resources that we think represent the best
in the field on topics such as business models, success stories, best
practices, technologies for community empowerment, and strategy guides.
Should we build a network? Who will it serve? What will it
do?--These questions are no longer just asked in smoke filled
boardrooms. Communities all over the world are asking these questions.
Many of them are, in fact, making the decision to build.

What have other communities done? We've collected numerous Examples of what other communities are doing.
They are cross-referenced with our choice matrices, and presented to
you in a clear, easy-to-understand list, sortable by location name,
land area and population. The example section is a powerful tool for
you to see what other communities with needs similar to yours have
chosen to do to make better broadband a reality.
