How we can bring high-speed internet access to more rural communities
On this episode of Connected Nation, we talk with Texas Representative Charles “Doc” Anderson who was working to bring high-speed internet access to more people long before the pandemic highlighted its importance.
He shares his advice for leaders across the country on how to more effectively work toward expanding access and tells us how he believes it benefits rural communities, the agriculture industry, and healthcare options for all.
