Optimize the resources​

There are several choices when it comes to ownership of the tribal broadband network, each that will impact assets, sovereignty, and liability—so careful planning is required. You'll also need partners throughout your journey to help you plan, design, build, and optimize the network and your ongoing business. ​

Harness technology and enable the community

To design the right network, think about what you want to deliver to your community for the long-term. Start with what your subscribers will need and how you might evolve—then work backwards to build what supports your vision. Shift your perspective to align with a business strategy that is rooted in how tribal broadband, and its related services can transform communities altogether.​

Unleash innovation

Without a plan to get your tribal broadband service into the market, your subscriber count and business could fall below your expectations—that’s where a go-to-market (GTM) strategy comes in. You'll also need to extend your network of connections and lean on resources that have helped tribes deliver broadband.​
