Maine Connectivity Authority
The Maine Connectivity Authority (MCA) and its partners propose to design, build, and operate the MOOSE (Maine Online Optical Statewide Enabling) Network, a new, east-west 531 middle mile fiber optic route that will anchor the State's strategic goal of providing universal broadband access. MOOSE Net will provide a publicly owned backbone, enabling expansion and diversification of internet services otherwise deemed not economically viable by existing market conditions.
