Bear Paw Development Corporation is a private non-profit organization created for the purpose of administering programs to help improve regional economic conditions in Hill, Blaine, Liberty, Chouteau and Phillips Counties and the Fort Belknap and Rocky Boy's Indian Reservations.

The survey follows a nationwide study by Pando Networks that ranked Idaho slowest in the country in Internet speed.

Reliable, fast and affordable broadband Internet service and infrastructure are key to Idaho’s economic development, according to a statewide survey by the Idaho Technology Council.

The ITC conducted the online survey from Sept. 14 to Sept. 23. The group surveyed 426 Idahoans to determine their level of satisfaction with broadband and wireless Internet service, and whether the state needs to strengthen those services.
