President Biden ran for office on the promise of “Building Back Better,” including a commitment to expand broadband access to every American. Now that we’re in the thick of the first 100 days, how does the new Administration plan to deliver on this lofty goal? So far we’ve seen the President call upon the Federal Communications Commission to help students without home broadband, but it’s not just students who are stuck on the wrong side of the digital divide. To figure out what comes next, SHLB invites you to a special conversation with key broadband advisers who worked on the Biden campaign in their individual capacities. Join us to discuss prospects for legislation, FCC actions, and more.
