Hi. It's Ben with a preview of the next municipal equation, starting with a question.
What's happening in communities that lack access to broadband? We have vacant buildings that people call and they ask, okay. What do you offer? Do you have water? Check. You have sewer? Check. Broadband?
No check. Communities are denied the ability to grow, prosper, and succeed.
We have students in our local high school that have to choose between going to lunch or going to the library or the computer center to complete their homework because they have no access at the house.
But this is not just a rural problem. Broadband is already essential infrastructure for business, quality of life, even health. Yet so many places are either underserved or without it completely. It keeps people from visiting your city. It keeps your town from growing. Keeps you from telling your story. But there's a way to change this. We look at that on the next Municipal Equation, April 3. There are so many different ways to find this podcast, iTunes, Google Play, the whole spread of podcast directories and apps. Or just go to to nclm.org/municipalequation. The entire back catalog is at municipalequation.libsyn.com. Libsyn is spelled l I b s y n. Municipal Equation is a national podcast about cities and towns in the face of change, brought to you every other week by the North Carolina League of Municipalities. Talk to you soon. This is Ben Brown.
