Over the past few weeks, we've seen a host of state governments triumphantly announcing the arrival of federal funds - usually over $1 billion apiece - to expand broadband access, particularly to rural communities.
The seeds of this arrival were planted nearly two years ago, when Congress passed the Infrastructure and Jobs Act. The wheels of government do spin slowly, but hopefully the scope and scale of this investment will pay major dividends for those Americans currently without quality, affordable internet.
So with this next step beginning in the fight for internet access, we thought it would be a good time to revisit an interview we conducted last year with Kathryn de Wit, Project Director of the Broadband Access Initiative at The Pew Charitable Trusts.
