Who Are We?

This regional partnership began in the fall of 2000 with the purpose of improving Internet bandwidth to member schools while containing costs. The NNNC is a consortium of the 5 Educational Service Units (ESUs) in northeast Nebraska - 1, 2, 7, 8 and 17. The NNNC now provides Internet access, network services, and technology support to its member ESUs and districts.
