  1. Rural broadband is essential infrastructure—but how should we fund it for the long haul?

    Should broadband funding be locked into permanent law, or should Congress revisit it with each new farm bill?

    What approach makes the most sense for rural communities? 💬

  11. Oh, cable companies are comparing data caps to restaurant menus? Imagine if Olive Garden charged you $10 every time you exceeded their "unlimited" breadsticks limit! 🍝

    Next they'll tell us buffet restaurants should charge by the bite. Nice try, ISPs. Internet access isn't a luxury menu item. #DataCaps #BroadbandAccess

  13. We need to prioritize serious investments in infrastructure to boost digital accessibility in underserved communities. This means expanding broadband access, building tech hubs, and improving electricity supply. Successful initiatives like Google's Internet Saathi show how effective public-private partnerships can truly bridge the digital divide. #DigitalInclusion #TechForAll #BroadbandAccess #PublicPrivatePartnerships #DigitalEquity

    The FCC is now forcing ISP's to break own their prices, in a fashion similar to food nutrition labels, no more hidden fees, no more service charges you didn't know about. They must include service fees, device insurance fees, installation fees, info on temporary or discount pricing that will increase later, speeds, data-caps and more

    The FCC’s Affordable Connectivity Program (ACP), part of the 2021 infrastructure bill, currently provides 23 million low-income Americans a $30 broadband discount.

    That's about to end Thanks to Republicans forcing its defunding.

  27. "Mayor Adam’s New Big Apple Connect Program is Akin to Lighting Tax Money on Fire"

    Subsidies for big corps providing slower internet, while dismantling unsubsidized free co-op driven broadband equipment THAT WAS ALREADY INSTALLED in public housing.

    This just doesn't make sense at all.

  30. As we head into January, time is running out to ensure all unserved locations are counted on the FCC’s new map. This is important because map created using data submitted by the January 13th cutoff will be used by the NTIA to decide where BILLIONS in funding will be directed.
    My story on how to navigate the map and file challenges is here.
