New York Governor Kathy Hochul announced yesterday the state will launch the Excelsior Broadband Network, a new statewide public broadband network. The network is designed to build and connect public broadband assets across the state, with the first component being a new fiber line that runs the full length of the 426-mile New York Thruway.
The fiber network along the thruway is intended to improve high speed internet and reliable cell phone service across rural and urban portions of the state. The network will extend from Buffalo to Plattsburgh through Syracuse and Albany to Binghamton and New York City.
