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 we chat with leaders at two municipal broadband utilities who have integrated their own affordability programs to benefit their community members. Chad Crager is the Broadband Executive Director at Fort Collins Connexion and Chris Roy is General Manager at Shrewsbury Electric and Cable Operations, also known as SELCO.
