About NEKCV
NEKCV is a merged entity, a Communications Union District (CUD) formed by NEK Broadband and CVFiber in Vermont. NEKCV aims to provide high-speed internet access to 72 towns across the Northeast Kingdom and Central Vermont. It’s a community-driven organization committed to bringing affordable, reliable internet to rural and underserved areas.
Mission Statement
NEKCV’s mission is to ensure that all people and institutions in our member communities have access to reliable, fast, affordable and preferably net neutral broadband, with an emphasis on first reaching those who are unserved or underserved.
Vision Statement
NEKCV’s vision is to fulfill our mission through leveraging our operating principles to establish an enduring foundation of publicly owned broadband infrastructure that closes the digital divide, and supports the economic prosperity of every resident, business, and institution in our region. We combine fiscal responsibility with long-term sustainability, provide exceptional customer service, build and maintain infrastructure that evolves to meet future needs, and hold ourselves accountable to the community through transparency, dialogue, local hiring, and public ownership of our assets. We envision a future of broadband internet supported by public infrastructure where our communities have the power to influence how that evolves for generations to come, in keeping with our mission statement.
