The Bloomington Digital Underground is a comprehensive program to install fiber-optic cable and conduit throughout the city. The goal of the BDU program is to build an advanced telecommunication infrastructure in the city rights-of-way, which will position Bloomington for economic growth driven by the Internet and electronic commerce.

The Bloomington Digital Underground is the City of Bloomington's core fiber-optic network, connecting City, County, MCPL, MCCSC and other facilities. The BDU Advisory Board advises the City on management of the BDU, related City telecommunications and IT infrastructure investments, and strategic IT initiatives.
