MEGAPOP was founded in 2002 to promote broadband services in rural North Mississippi. MEGAPOP's mission is to enhance economic development and improve the quality of life for the residents of North Mississippi through the delivery of enhanced broadband services.
In 2005, MEGAPOP in partnership with Telepak Networks, Inc. (now C-Spire Fiber) lit a fiber ring that currently serves two-thirds of the state of Mississippi.
Since the initial lighting, MEGAPOP and C-Spire have expanded the network, adding new rings with additional access throughout North Mississippi. Fiber to the Home is now available in Starkville and MEGAPOP is working with additional communities to promote the expansion of Fiber to the Home throughout the North Mississippi region.
