On Broadband and Society: A Conversation with Adrianne B. Furniss, Part 1

Our goal is to bring open, affordable, high-performance broadband to all people in the U.S. to ensure a thriving democracy," says Adrianne Furniss. In a rare interview and her first podcast, the Executive Director of the Benton Institute discusses the current state of rural broadband in the United States and her view of how to build capacity within very small communities that have suffered brain drain and the loss of their economic vibrancy. The work being done by Benton and the research this famed institute relies on continue to launch what many call the "rural renaissance." https://www.benton.org/.
