Our take
As internet providers strive to expand their services to harder-to-reach communities, companies such as Ready are finding new ways to serve their customer base. Founded in 2020, Ready.net helps these companies collect, audit, and share data, connect to more customers and generally scale their projects.
With federal and state governments in the US offering billions to fund internet connectivity expansion, Ready are already winning big contracts. This is because of the necessity for internet providers to give funding programs extensive data on service areas, socio-economic surveys and existing connectivity in the areas they’re planning to expand into - which Ready is able to provide.
Founded at a time when internet connectivity was at its highest demand, and with good early funding, Ready has certainly got off to a promising start. In 2022, it partnered with Nokia to help local broadband providers connect unserved and underserved communities. With the expansion of broadband services still a major goal in the US, the company should have plenty of opportunity for further success.
