Recently, Region 14 has partnered with Taylor Telecom and the Fiber Gaming Network to provide free gaming opportunities for schools across the region regardless of service provider. Region 14 has been instrumental in creating a recruiting ground for higher education and industry opportunities in the Big Country.
