Established in 2021, the Maine Connectivity Authority (MCA) is a quasi-governmental agency charged with achieving universal access of affordable high-speed broadband in Maine.

The MCA will work to ensure three goals: 1.) That effective, accessible connectivity be universally available in the state; 2.) that there be secure, affordable, reliable, competitive, sustainable and forward-looking infrastructure that can meet future needs; and 3.) that all residents, businesses and institutions in Maine be able to take full advantage of the economic, health, educational and other opportunities available through connectivity services.

Focusing on projects, places and people, the MCA is advancing digital equity for all Mainers

The Maine Connectivity Authority will facilitate and/or directly invest in strategic elements of shared internet infrastructure (e.g., dark fiber, data centers, points of presence, and internet exchange points). These investments will provide long term public benefit
by providing access to new internet infrastructure, increasing competition, lowering costs to ISPs and end users, and creating a more resilient internet ecosystem.

We need your feedback to help direct these efforts.
