Community broadband and the last mile

April 2, 2021 (pre-recorded 3/29): When describing Vermont's cell and broadband service, words like "spotty," "frustrating," and "inadequate" come to mind*. Everything from geography to not having enough customers to justify the cost to private companies can be blamed. So, what about community led and financed broadband? 

Rep. Laura Sibilia joins today's show to talk about new legislation that seeks to accelerate the roll out of Community Union Districts and their potential role in connecting that last, elusive mile. 

*An apology to listeners - In true Vermont broadband style, we experienced a few issues during recording. So, the audio is whacky in a few places. Thanks for your patience.
