About Us

Consulting
Since 1995

Our Mission

We’re dedicated to improving lives through
improved internet systems.

Founding and Early Growth

ProInfoNet was founded in 1995 by Jim Rogers in his home office in Bangor, Maine. Motivated by a desire to improve people’s lives through improved communication systems, Jim leveraged his 14 years of IT experience to assist businesses across New England with their IT challenges. Within three years, ProInfoNet expanded to its first office and became a regional leader in telecommunications. Over the next decade, the team worked with many organizations like Maine Sea Coast Mission, the University of Maine, and the Bangor Daily News to bridge the digital divide.
1995-2007

Advocacy and Legislative Impact

In 2007, Jim identified gaps in federal funding for healthcare IT systems and began advocating for reform with local and state representatives. His efforts resulted in legislative changes, including the creation of the influential Healthcare Connect Fund program and the the Healthcare Connect Fund order (which cited Jim's advocacy 22 times). Inspired by this work, ProInfoNet launched its first specialized business unit in 2013, with the aim of helping healthcare organizations nationwide navigate new federal funding options to cut their networking costs.
2007-2019

Expanding Access to Broadband

Continuing his mission to address nationwide broadband disparities, Jim launched ProInfoNet’s second business unit, Mission Broadband, in 2019. Mission Broadband quickly became instrumental in providing internet access to underserved communities across the nation, impacting over 2.1 million residents in the US by bringing essential connectivity to families, schools, and businesses alike.
2019-Today
