The Problem

- Coverage and access is not universal
- The cost goes up year after year and adds on many fees

Benefits of Community Fiber-Optic Network
- Better Healthcare: Tele-medicine removes distance barriers to cutting-edge medical technology for those that cannot travel safely or are in an emergency.

The Vision
IFMC is a non-profit 501(c)4 membership-based organization that drives civic action, promotes, and advocates for Internet Freedom.
IFMC started in 2018 as an informal group of concerned citizens from around McHenry County concerned about the lack of competition and connectivity. We incorporated in 2019, and David Gutowsky, President, and Founder head the organization.

Completing the survey and letting us know about your Internet service is the first step to better Internet service. It helps prove to our elected officials that there is a need for something better.
