County Okays Tech Services Deals Cutting Costs
Douglas County commissioners agreed to hire KanREN as the county Internet service provider and to spend 82,289 dollars to upgrade phone systems in five remote offices. IT director Jim Lawson said the changes will save over 5,400 dollars yearly and provide fivefold bandwidth versus AT&T. KanREN, founded in 1991, evolved from the Kansas Research and Educational Network to serve local governments.
