StateNets

Computer networks at the state level have provided services and leadership for public sector organizations for several decades. Some state network organizations pre-date the Internet, and were integral contributors to the creation and development of the Internet. Today these networks continue to focus on serving the non-profit/public constituencies, including higher education, K-12 schools, libraries, and state and municipal governments. The missions of state networks vary, from providers of connections services, to end-user support, training of technical and professional personnel, and coordination of purchased services. More details about who we are and the constituencies we serve may be found on our State Network Chart.
