Broadband Action: The CBAN Podcast

How is it that the U.S. still faces challenges around the adoption and accessibility of fast, reliable, affordable, and universally available broadband? How does broadband access – or the lack of it – impact the lives of those who live in underserved or untapped communities? Hosts Curtis Dean, Jon Willow, and Todd Kielkopf – founders of the Community Broadband Action Network – take on the issues faced by community broadband providers and advocates, from policy and its real effects on local communities, to the commercial landscape and how technology can help or hinder the drive to digitally connect every U.S. resident to the internet in a meaningful way. With special guests from across the spectrum of broadband (no pun intended!), expect a lively, round table-style conversation in every episode. Who knows? You may even learn something.
In this episode of Broadband Action, the CBAN podcast welcomes Alan Fitzpatrick, who shares valuable insights from his work with Open Broadband in the Carolinas. The discussion delves into Open Broadband's innovative approach to connecting underserved communities through a technology-agnostic strategy. Fitzpatrick explains how his company evaluates each customer's unique situation to determine the most effective connectivity solution, whether it's fiber optics, fixed wireless, cellular networks, or satellite service.Links:Open Broadband: https://openbb.netPower & Tel, CBAN Broadband Backer and Spring Forum Showcase Sponsor: https://www.ptsupply.com
