[Commentary] We’re never going to truly connect this country if the focus of our collective broadband deployment work is to repeat erroneous claims about the number of options Americans have for broadband providers. The policies that support the current duopoly and monopoly business structure in broadband are crippling our rural communities but we won’t see forward movement on broadband competition (and therefore access, price and service) if we can’t even get the baseline data right.
