Why Network Co-operative Kuuskaista?Why Network Co-operative Kuuskaista?
• “Broadband” operators not interested in providing their services in the rural areas
• “Broadband” (512 kbps, ADSL) is NOT broadband, but narrowband
• Equal (or better) services to the rural areas -> services that otherwise wouldn’t be available
• During the fall 2002 Kuus-it project studied people’s interest in real-broadband
- More than 1800 households, in 51 villages
• Doesn’t make sense to start 51 separate projects
• Together we are stronger -> 17.11.2002 Network Co-operative Kuuskaista
