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, CBAN's Jon Willow and Curtis Dean talk with Karl Bode, a journalist who's been covering broadband for 25 years. Karl shares his perspective on the big issues facing the broadband industry and some insight on what further changes may be coming.
