‘Bridging the Digital Divide’

Happy Friday everyone! Thanks to Ray Pelletier for “Vermont Bridging the Digital Divide” by ChatGPT in the voice of Robert Frost: The wires now stretch o'er hill and dale, In Vermont's countryside so green, Connecting every home and vale, With internet that's fast and keen. No more a divide, so wide and stark, Between the haves and have-nots' fate, For now, in every heart and park, The web is woven, digital gate. The farmer checks his crop reports, The student studies far and wide, The grandparent keeps in touch with thoughts, No longer left behind to bide. The future looks a little brighter, As Vermont bridges the divide, With high-speed internet, a lifter, Of all who live and work inside. And though the road may be a winding, With many a turn that's hard to trace, We'll all be moving forward, binding, A stronger, connected human race.

Check out this rural broadband success story from Vermont, where the state legislature allowed broadband groups to connect areas ignored by the incumbents. Linda Hardesty reports for Fierce Telecom. ? "In summary, [ECFiber governing board chair F.X.] Flinn said, 'Vermont’s attitude is: We’ve had a rural broadband crisis since the 2000s and kept talking to the big cable and phone companies and got nowhere and then this group figured out we could do it ourselves. With federal money it can all happen faster.'" #ruralbroadband #FiberBroadband #Vermont #ruraldevelopment #highspeedinternet #connectivity #broadband #Infrastructure #BroadbandForAll #digitaldivide #criticalinfrastructure #construction https://lnkd.in/ePRpcb4X
