Gustavus Broadband

1–30 of 184

Welcome to the Gustavus, Alaska Broadband workgroup. We are an informal, self-appointed group of people interested in improving Internet access in Gustavus.

The 2012 Gustavus Broadband Plan proposed a robust wired last-mile network but the City of Gustavus was never able to raise the $2 Million in public funding that would have been required for it to succeed.
Much has happened since!
