Accessible and affordable Internet service is coming to Rhode Island with the installation of a new fiber-optic cable that will connect universities, school districts, hospitals, libraries, law enforcement organizations and governments around the Ocean State and Southeastern Massachusetts. CCRI President Ray Di Pasquale greeted federal and state dignitaries and guests during a ceremony to launch the project held at the college's Liston Campus in Providence on May 9. Governor Lincoln Chafee, Lt. Gov. Elizabeth Roberts and U.S. Senators Jack Reed and Sheldon Whitehouse were in attendance. Officials believe the improved access to broadband is essential for education, economic growth and research.
