While there are many communities in New Hampshire that are not only underserved, but unserved, the federal government regulations under the BTOP program allow for only a maximum of 20% of the total award budget to be directed for last mile installation. As the NNHN program completes the middle mile network, it will increase the ability for independent companies such as FastRoads to extend the high-speed network to homes and businesses.
