How Nebraska Built a Network with the Lowest Internet Costs

A multi-year effort to build a statewide network has resulted in a service that has not only lowered internet costs, but but has increased bandwidth, improving the ability for schools to share educational courses across the state.

Educational institutions in the northeast corner of Nebraska were once paying $1,200 per megabit per month, totaling around $300,000 per year, for Internet service. Today, thanks to a decade-long networking project that joins government and educational entities on one high-speed IP network, they now pay less than $2 per megabit, per month, according to Walter Weir, CIO of the University of Nebraska.
