“It’s a sense of excitement and relief to get to this point,” said Warden Robert Parker. “A lot of people need this badly. Even for those that don’t need it badly, it’s a big improvement in their lives.” Heather Allen-Johnson has been spearheading the customer service efforts on behalf of the MOPC and is leading the information sessions.

It’s really important we get it to a price range that hopefully, everybody can afford,” he said. “This service will provide the same download and upload which will be consistent with the definition of high-speed internet, and give everyone equal opportunity to work remotely if that is offered for them,” she said.
