PGST Broadband Service:
We are excited to announce that a new Fiber to the Home (FTTH) project, funded by an NTIA grant, is underway. This project, led by PGST Broadband Service and DT Micro, aims to bring high-speed fiber optic internet to every home on the tribal reservation.
NTIA Grant / Fiber to the Home Project: We have made significant progress on our NTIA grant project to provide fiber to the home.
