In this Fiber for Breakfast, drawing on his new book "Farm Fresh Broadband: The Politics of Rural Connectivity," Dr. Christopher Ali will talk about past efforts to connect rural areas, including the Rural Electrification Administration and the FCC’s high cost funding programs. With policymakers in the process of drafting the rules for the largest public investment in telecommunications in the nation’s history, it is vital that the failures of the past are not repeated.
