North Dakota Republican gubernatorial candidate Doug Burgum was featured in the October 2016 edition of the Fargo INC! business magazine. An article titled “Burgum on Business” focuses on questions submitted from area business leaders.
During Burgum’s interview, one of the questions asked was, “How can world-class Internet make an impact for all of North Dakota?” Burgum replied, “North Dakota is better off than most states right now because of things like the Dakota Fiber Initiative and the Dakota Carrier Network, which is a group of all the telephone co-ops that have gotten together.”
With DCN, and its owner companies investments in fiber throughout the state, other opportunities are evolving such as DCN’s statewide Wi-Fi network. These DCN initiatives are connecting North Dakotans statewide.
