The Upstate California Connect Consortia (UCCC) is composed of members from Colusa, Glenn and Lake Counties and led by The Geographical Information Center at California State University Chico. The consortium, a program of the California Public Utilities Commission, is focused on improving broadband availability and performance within its region through information sharing, assessment of current broadband performance, incorporation of broadband into local government planning and procedures, developing partnerships and collaborating to generate broadband infrastructure proposals, generating strategic broadband plans, and recommending policies for broadband expansion. The UCCC will seek to leverage multiple broadband activities with resources to expand the coverage and quality of broadband in the region.
