USF Restores 24 Community Wi-Fi Sites Across St. Ann with $50 Million Investment

The Universal Service Fund (USF) has restored 24 community Wi-Fi sites across St. Ann at an investment of $50 million, marking its largest single Wi-Fi installation to date. Officially launched during the Connec’ Di North Coast Tour in Ocho Rios on October 30, the expanded network provides free internet access across communities including Ocho Rios, St. Ann’s Bay and Brown’s Town.

The initiative is expected to support residents, students, vendors, tourism operators and visitors by improving digital access while reducing data costs. With the restoration completed in St. Ann, the USF has now conducted Wi-Fi launches in six parishes following Hurricane Melissa, reaffirming its commitment to reconnecting communities and expanding access to reliable internet services.
