On this episode of Connected Nation, we talk with two members of the Texas Governor’s Broadband Development Council which recently released a report on the state of broadband connectivity across the Lone Star State.
We discuss the recommendations the Council made to the governor, what important data point members believe still need more study, and how the lessons from Texas could help other areas across the country tackle the need for better internet access in rural communities.
