Rural Innovation Strategies, Inc.

Rural Innovation Strategies, Inc. (RISI): Guided by a belief in rural ingenuity and small-town potential, RISI is committed to empowering small towns across the country with fiber broadband infrastructure to participate in the 21st-century digital economy, attract and retain top-tier talent, and provide reliable internet service to school-aged children and remote workers — thus uplifting the community’s quality of life. Not only do broadband inequalities fall along rural/urban divides, access is often exacerbated along racial and class lines. Our organization is dedicated to helping rural communities plan networks that overcome all of these longstanding inequalities.
