Small Towns, Big Advocates: Municipal Broadband & Access with Michael DeChiara
How can our communities adapt to an increasingly online world where broadband access, computing devices, and digital literacy are necessary to fully participate in society? This season of Public Hearing is tackling all things Digital Equity - from small towns to national organizations - to better understand the obstacles and pathways to achieving digital equity.
In this episode of Public Hearing, Josh speaks to Michael DeChiara, Coordinator for the Alliance for Digital Equity in Western Massachusetts about the challenges faced by rural communities trying to get online, and the most sustainable solutions.
Public Hearing is a podcast from Action! by Design where we explore the unique challenges and opportunities facing Massachusetts' Gateway Cities as they work to create more equitable, liberated, and sustainable communities.
