Competitive Edge

PANGAEA has many benefits compared to our competition.

  • As a community owned, non profit company, we serve the community – not a corporation’s shareholders – who demand a significant return on their corporate investment. The focus is on maximizing community benefit, not shareholder value.
  • Because of our community focused mission, PANGAEA also has a very receptive audience with local, state and U.S. policy makers.
  • Members of our Board of Directors are friends and neighbors, volunteering a huge amount of time and effort because they understand the potential community impact.
  • PANGAEA has access to funding sources that public companies don’t have.
  • Grant money covers most capital costs. Therefore, there is little reliance on outside partners to build the network.

The bottom line result is more bandwidth, faster internet and a better place to live and work for customers.
