Stronger Together For and With Great Broadband

Recently, I gave a speech in Wilson (NC) at a conference on Expanding the Gigabit Ecosystem. I wasn’t there to make a partisan statement but began by agreeing with 75 percent of an assertion of one of the presidential candidates: that it is time—because it’s always time--to Make America Great. I suggested the real topic of that conference is how we make America great with great broadband. Today I would like to address four questions related to further steps along that journey:

What is the impact of next generation broadband?
Why not just wait for current market forces to deploy such networks?
What are some models for communities to act to accelerate deployment?
What other steps are useful for expanding the value of the gigabit ecosystem?
