Really fun to be in the room with some community-based broadband providers and hearing a bit about what they're up to in their communities. Thanks for having me @NTCAconnect!
.@PlusOneStrategy's Tanya Sullivan, @Nex_Tech's Friday Otuya and @ARCgov's @KellyWismer discussed how to approach funding opportunities and strategies community-based providers can use to engage with the communities they serve.

Passing the Infrastructure Act was Job#1.Now it’s time to get the job done! @NTCAconnect broadband providers know that #broadband networks demolish barriers to learning, healthcare & commerce . We must act urgently to make internet for all a reality

Many of us take it as a given that we can unlock our phones or open up our laptops and instantly be connected to the wealth of information that is the internet. It is not until we experience a Wi-F…

I love that @NTCAconnect hosts annual events like this: investing in, building community & sharing best practices among #WomenInTelecom. Lots of impressive brainpower in that room!
Thank you to @SecRaimondo for joining our #WomenInTelecom visit to @NTIAgov this afternoon to discuss the broadband workforce and how to get more women into the industry! #BuildBroadbandWithUs

Innovation and thinking outside the box are key. @PrattAllen with @nrea1, @Amorganrural with @RuralHealth, and @KellyWismer with @ARCgov are talking to @sbloomfield15 about how all sectors are better off with broadband access. #SRCLive

David was a fierce rural broadband advocate & I treasure that my path got to cross with his. I'll be picking up a box (or several) of Chippers in his honor in ND this summer.
As @NTCAconnect heads into our #L&P2022, let’s take a moment to remember long time champion for #broadband in North Dakota and across the nation. David Crothers @NDBroadband will be sorely missed. His memory is indeed a blessing.

More than 100 people a year die from gunshots in South Dakota, 80 percent of them — or about 86 people — by suicide." The Woster brothers are SD journalism royalty. I appreciate Kevin's poignant honesty here.

High-speed broadband internet is as vitally important today as electricity was a century ago. Closing the digital divide for our rural communities will give all Virginians the power to fully participate in our increasingly global and internet-based economy. #RuralBroadbandDay
Today marks the 3rd annual #RuralBroadbandDay where our members highlight the need for expanded broadband access in rural communities. We’ve made amazing, bipartisan progress on this and it’s time for the House to take up the Broadband Internet Connections for Rural America Act.

Without affordable, high-speed internet, children can't attend their online learning classes, their parents can't apply for jobs online & families can't access telehealth. We must bridge the digital divide & bring our rural communities into the 21st century. #RuralBroadbandDay

Reliable internet connections have enabled employees to work safely from home in response to COVID-19 and could help to stem the flight of workers from small towns to cities in search of jobs. #RuralBroadbandDay
