Access to reliable and affordable high-speed Internet is essential in today's digital world, yet many rural communities struggle with connectivity challenges. Lack of high-speed internet service economically, medically, and socially disadvantages many rural communities and limits resilient energy applications. It also hamstrings business and advanced applications like precision agriculture. Taking a whole community approach to address the last internet mile can help to ensure that the various infrastructure needs are addressed in a coordinated and sustainable way with shared goals and priorities to optimize resource allocation and create new opportunities for economic development and community well-being. The webinar will also provide practical guidance on developing effective strategies for addressing this critical issue. Whether you are a community leader, policymaker, or interested citizen, we invite you to join us for this vital conversation. Panelists from Viasat, Arizona State University, Microsoft's Airband Initiative and others.
