"Everyone needs the internet, but why doesn’t everyone have it?" - Emily Stewart, Vox Media

The Broadband Bunch

In this episode, we speak with Emily Stewart a business and politics reporter with Vox Media. The digital divide is seen as a mostly rural issue but in fact, it’s a nationwide problem. As it turns out especially in urban areas, connecting people to the internet is a twofold problem. Access and Affordability. With COVID numbers spiking all across the nation, Emily and Craig discuss ways people are trying to solve the gulf between those who have ready access to the internet, and those who do not.
