Many Minnesotans thankful for broadband – many still need it

As you may recall I posted a series of videos from folks talking about why they were thankful for broadband. Those videos have been condensed and compiled just in time to remind policy maker of the importance of broadband as they are looking at budgets and investments in the state. Many people are thankful for broadband – many still need it. The danger these days is not of the digital divide widening but of it getting deeper.
