The goal of this study was to gather information and develop a plan for tribes with radio stations and those without access to radio transmission facilities to use broad band media technologies to serve their communities. Since no research or data existed regarding Internet usage in Indian Country, this study sought to fill in this data gap and explore best practices and replicable models for developing broad band projects in Indian Country.
