Podcast – How Telcos and Electrics Are Teaming Up To Provide Better Broadband For Rural America
Finley was honored to be a guest on Clearfield’s Better Broadband POD Cast series. Sean Middleton, Director, Strategy Operations with Finley and Michael Wood, National Market Manager, Utilities with Clearfield discuss partnering for better broadband and how this can be a successful solution.
Key Points
- Electric co-ops are already accustomed to the type of arrangement needed to partner and get broadband to rural areas.
- National companies sometimes look to stop municipalities from putting infrastructure in place, but cities are getting permission to lay their own fiber networks.
- “If you build it, they will come” Is a mantra that holds up in broadband.
