The RuBICON initiative is a broadband co-op that will deliver reliable, high-speed internet to our communities, unlocking opportunities for education, agriculture, business, and connection.
A broadband co-op is owned by the people who use it. Unlike big internet companies, co-ops put community needs first—giving members a voice in how things are run and reinvesting revenue to improve service.
In many rural communities in our region of the Central Valley, internet service is slow, unreliable, or completely unavailable. That means people are being left behind in a world that depends on digital connection.
RuBICON is taking a different approach to broadband internet—building a co-op that is owned by the people it serves. That means faster internet, fair pricing, and a focus on community needs, not corporate profits.
Infrastructure will expand to reach homes, schools, farms, and businesses that have been left out.
As a co-op, revenue goes back into the network—not into shareholder pockets—keeping costs affordable.

Reliable internet supports education, healthcare, job growth, and innovation for everyone.
RuBICON will serve communities across the Central Valley that currently lack fast, reliable internet. The shaded areas show where service is being planned. This map will be updated as the project grows and infrastructure evolves.
