The Broadband Bunch

In this episode, we speak with Jeff Johnston, lead economist for CoBank a national cooperative bank serving industry in rural America. We cover a variety of topics across the broadband sector including current broadband network valuations and their prospects in the near future as investors broaden their field of possible acquisitions. We also discuss LEOs or Low Earth Orbit Satellites as a possible category disruptor. Finally, our talk turns to funding and how much money will be needed to end the digital divide in rural America.
