BCCB worked with
Research First Consulting
to conduct consumer
surveys during the
summer and fall 2010.
Research First was the
firm that was selected by
the Wisconsin Public
Service Commission to
conduct the Wisconsin
Consumer Broadband
Study. Households were
selected randomly to
participate in the 10-12
minute telephone
survey. Wisconsinites
were also encouraged to
take our online survey or
submit their contact
information for
participation. Research
First oversampled the
five BCCB demonstration
communities which will
allow us to make
comparisons between
our communities and the
statewide averages.
