Summary
In July 2016, the Beaver Island Association asked residents and visitors to complete an internet-use survey intended to guide broadband-related next steps, grant applications, and potential partnerships.
Evidence limits
This establishes the survey launch and stated purpose. The archived forum thread does not preserve the response dataset or results, so it should not be used to infer island-wide service quality, demand, or a representative user-experience distribution.

- The Association launched a survey of residents and visitors to inform next steps, grant applications, and possible partnerships. Later replies document divergent individual experiences and opinions about TDS service; they are not survey results and are not treated as infrastructure measurements.forum · www.beaverislandforum.com · 10 · t010552
- Participants proposed Project Loon and GigCity as possible models for island-wide internet and made an unverified claim about a $250 million grant dispute involving TDS and Great Lakes Energy. This documents community speculation and perceived infrastructure stakes, not a grant award, carrier plan, or survey result.forum · www.beaverislandforum.com · 11 · t011252
