Comcast Business

“We launched these new client services teams to support local enterprise customer locations – many outside of the traditional Comcast footprint – with a broad suite of technology solutions, including global secure networking, advanced cybersecurity and unified communications solutions,” Freeman said. “The new team, composed of veteran telecom professionals, is focused on expanding opportunities for businesses of all sizes.”

Giving Back

The company gives back to the community through Project UP, which has existed for about 10 years. It has committed $1B “to advance digital equity and help build a future of unlimited possibilities,” according to its website. Its goal is to reach tens of millions of people through programs and community partnerships across Comcast, NBCUniversal and Sky to “open doors for the next generation of innovators, entrepreneurs, storytellers and creators.” 

Among other things, it offers Comcast RISE, which is now in its fourth year. The program has supported “14,000 small business owners with tech services, marketing resources and millions of dollars in grants,” the website said. 

It offers statistics to bolster the need to help businesses:  

• “By 2030, the demand for workers with basic digital skills will increase by 69 percent. 
• “One in three people used the Internet to find a new job or earn a higher income after receiving help from a Digital Navigator,” its website said.

Comcast’s future in Polk County for the next three to five years looks bright, Freeman said. 

“Comcast is excited to grow with Polk County,” she said. “With Polk being the fastest growing county in the state, we see a great opportunity to bring faster, more reliable internet to both residents and businesses to support development. We’re here to keep our customers connected. Whether they are learning online, attending telehealth appointments, running business transactions or making purchases within the local economy.”
