Having a Regional Broadband Program means that we get a front row seat to some amazing work going on that doesn’t have many cheerleaders in the media – or like any utility once it is working—users who appreciate the story behind how it came to be. We think these stories are evolving, and that public broadband will only increase in importance. We also hope that some leader, some future champion in some community near or far that is not as far along in the public broadband journey as some of those highlighted in the report will recognize their community’s future in these pages and find some inspiration to move forward.
