Allband Communications Cooperative’s primary mission is providing affordable and advanced telephone, 911 and broadband services to residents in Northeastern Michigan who do not have access to advanced telecommunications offered in neighboring more populated cities or other urban areas. In short, Allband’s mission is to “bridge the digital divide” of our rural community by laying an advanced fiber optic foundation that can fulfill current needs and be developed and harnessed over time to improve the economic development and quality of life of our community.
