Promise, Perils and the Big Switch Ahead for AI and BEAD
Today, government officials have new strategic decisions to make just as momentous as the ones the intersection of policy and technology dumped in our Federal Communications Commission laps back in the early 1990’s. As we look out on a future in which more and more of our economic and civic activity involves online communications, we should not forget there is an urgent and critical task: eliminating the digital divide.
This unique event brings together voices from across the rural ecosystem — communications, hospitals, libraries, schools, agriculture and more — to showcase the amazing things that can happen when community leaders work together to leverage broadband-enabled applications in creative ways.
