"Running a bed and breakfast in rural Sweden, I often felt disconnected from the digital world due to poor internet connectivity. That all changed when our community was connected through an open-access fiber network. This development, spearheaded by Thread Internet and Fabric, revolutionized not just my business but our entire rural community.

 

The high-speed internet transformed how we managed our bookings and communications with guests. We were able to implement online booking systems, virtual tours of our property, and offer high-speed Wi-Fi to our guests, significantly enhancing their experience. It opened up new markets for us, as we could now effectively reach a global audience through digital marketing.

 

But the impact went beyond business. It connected our community to the wider world, enabled local students to access educational resources, and even improved healthcare access through telemedicine services. It was remarkable to see how this technology uplifted our entire community, fostering growth and connectivity.

 

The open-access model, with its choice of providers and competitive pricing, was particularly beneficial for us as small business owners. We could select an internet plan that best suited our needs and budget, without compromising on quality. This investment in digital infrastructure by Thread Internet and Fabric has been a turning point for rural communities like ours, proving that technology can be a great equalizer."
