A long-planned cable connecting Metlakatla and Ketchikan has taken a big step toward becoming a reality. Once completed, the community should see internet speeds 40 times faster than what's available now.
Keolani Booth is the chairman of Metlakatla Power & Light, the local utility on Annette Island. He explained that the cable will serve a dual purpose.
Once broadband service comes online, Booth said he expects big boosts for the local schools and the clinic, as well as students who are learning remotely. And he said it’ll also be a boon for local businesses.The new broadband connection will enable speeds of up to 1 gigabit per second for both uploads and downloads, according to the grant announcement. That’sin Metlakatla and on par with what’s available in cities like Ketchikan, Anchorage and Seattle.
