We bring our broadband planning discussion to the western mountains of North Carolina with this 90-plus minute audiotape of NC Broadband Matters August 10, 2020, webinar. We held this in partnership with the Land of Sky Regional Council and the Southwestern Commission, and thanks to the sponsorship of the WNC Bridge Foundation. This discussion features two of our Board members, Doug Dawson from CCG Consulting and Deborah Watts from Broadband Catalysts, with guest speaker Brian Rathbone, also from Broadband Catalysts. Doug identifies how to bring modern broadband to your community, despite the restrictive NC laws. Deborah identifies various funding sources. Brian describes how to generate more accurate maps than those of the FCC.
