On this episode of Connected Nation, we're talking with Drew Lentz of Frontera Consulting, also known as the Wireless Nerd, about what it takes to build broadband networks that truly serve the communities they connect.
We discuss why broadband access is only one piece of the puzzle, the need for digital skills and cybersecurity education, and Drew's idea for “digital paperboys” to train students to support technology in their own communities. We also explore lessons from projects in South Texas and Juneau, Alaska, and why community partnerships can make broadband networks more successful long term.
