BVU OptiNet announces an on-line survey to obtain direct input about broadband access and use in Bristol and across the Commonwealth. The survey is part of a rigorous broadband mapping and planning project for Virginia. The design and size of this survey will provide businesses, organizations, decision-makers, and citizens with the most comprehensive, accurate, and current information on the status, uses and challenges of high-speed broadband in Bristol and the Commonwealth.
More than 44,000 businesses, non-profits, health organizations, local governments and households in Virginia have received email messages asking them to participate in the survey. The email request to complete the online survey will be transmitted to recipients by the Department of Business Administration; the emails will contain a link to the survey that can be completed online. The survey will be active until September 24. If a business, organization or household does not receive an e-mail invitation, a link can be found on BVU OptiNet’s web page: www.bvu-optinet.com
This online survey is a primary data collection resource that allows businesses, organizations and individuals to report directly on their access and use of broadband services. The results from the survey will help identify where and to what degree broadband is available statewide and for what purposes it is used on a regular basis. It will also provide specific information about how businesses, local governments, health-related, and other organizations incorporate broadband usage into their daily work and how households and individuals use broadband service in their daily lives.
“The results of this survey will help BVU better understand where we are and where we need to go, relative to broadband access and use,” says Kyle Hollifield, VP of Marketing & Business Development for BVU. “The Commonwealth of Virginia’s (and the nation’s) future economic growth and prosperity absolutely depend on the availability and use of high-speed broadband in every area of the state.”
