Description of QALICB
Wwest Communications is a small telecommunications and broadband provider in Washington state that serves a specified area of Southwest Washington, bringing high speed internet, phone, and television services to this Non-Metro Census Tract.
Community Benefits
Wwest Communications used Pacesetter CDE’s investment to install new equipment and technology to expand their high-speed broadband services into a severely distressed rural Low-Income Community that had been left behind from high-speed internet coverage from other traditional telecommunication providers. This expansion allowed Wwest to increase their coverage base to remain in business and compete with other providers in the area, and brought necessary services to an LIC that would not otherwise have had access to high-speed internet in their homes and community.
