The MN Public Broadband Alliance is an organization for communities (such as counties) that are seeking better broadband. They host a monthly meeting for members, which includes a presentation from Gigi Sohn, American Association for Public Broadband, on what’s happening to broadband on the national scope. One update that didn’t make the PPT – As of today: GAO determined that June 6 policy guidance are not in effective because NTIA didn’t submit changes to Congress. This may change nothing practically, but technically it is true.

We also chatted about what’s happening in Minnesota – which means talking about BEAD, changes in providers and trying to keep up.
