Louisiana’s Office of Broadband Development and Connectivity Deputy Director Thomas Tyler

After several years serving as Deputy Director of Louisiana’s Office of Broadband Development and Connectivity, I’m stepping away to begin a new chapter. I won’t pretend there’s a dramatic exit story here; the truth is simpler. I came into this work believing that connectivity is infrastructure in the most fundamental sense. Roads and bridges move people and goods. Broadband moves opportunity. When Louisiana had the chance to pioneer a new model for closing the digital divide, the stakes couldn’t have been clearer.
