This is so petty. Shame on AT&T arstechnica.com/tech-policy/20…

This is bullshit. These programs save lives! “The use of Federal resources 2 advance Marxist equity, transgenderism, and green new deal social engineering policies is a waste of taxpayer dollars that does not improve the day-2-day lives of those we serve” apnews.com/article/donald…

Terrific article by Missouri State Rep Louis Riggs on the tensions between federal and state broadband initiatives and those terrible federal broadband maps we all have to live with. Well done! Benton Institute for Broadband & Society benton.org/blog/bead-grou…

Honored to be quoted in this incredibly in-depth article about the rise of Starlink and its implications for broadband connectivity by the very talented Joe Supan Inside the Rise of 7,000 Starlink Satellites – and Their Inevitable Downfall cnet.com/home/internet/… via CNET

Broadband to the farm must be one of the most not-talked-out-enough issues when it comes to broadband deployment and BEAD. It involves the underlying mapping fabric & broadband technologies. We need to figure this out because our farms need connectivity! potsandpansbyccg.com/2025/02/18/cou…

Really excited to announce that my new article on Telecommunications Policy for the Oxford Research Encyclopedia of Communication was published today. If you're looking for a one-stop read for all things telecom, consider my article! Oxford Academic oxfordre.com/communication/…

Hilde Van den Bulck, Jon Kropko & I have a forthcoming article in Journal of Communication demonstrating that Americans who consume PBS trust it more than other platforms. This holds regardless of political orientation. #PBS can be a gathering point if we let it flourish!

Our Executive Director Gigi Sohn was thrilled to join Penn State's Christopher Ali & @saschameinrath.bsky.social in State College for a fireside chat on BEAD, digital equity, and AAPB’s work. Gigi also met with students to discuss careers in comms policy and as public interest advocates.

Throwing this out to the twitter #broadband verse: has anyone written about theirony that when the FCC launched the ACP it did so online? I.e. has anyone written about the failure of FCC outreach during the initial weeks of ACP? side note: I've got the GAO report form 2023

Excited to announce that my new publication "When you wish upon a Star(link)" was published this morning in Tech Policy Press! In the article I critique the Department of Commerce's plans to change broadband funding in the US. techpolicy.press/when-you-wish-…

Big news! Hilde Van den Bulck, Jonathan Kropko and I are published Current about our research on Americans, trust and PBS. We find that Americans who consume PBS content TRUST PBS and that this trust extends beyond political affiliation. current.org/2025/06/study-…
