Carole Monroe Explains New Hampshire’s Fast Roads Initiative – Community Broadband Bits #36

Date: 5 Mar 2013 | posted in: MuniNetworks, Podcast | 0 Facebooktwitterredditmail

The New Hampshire Fast Roads Initiative is bringing great Internet access to rural New Hampshire. Project CEO Carole Monroe joined us for this week's Community Broadband Bits podcast.

Fast Roads is the culmination of years of local organizing and several efforts to improve access to the Internet in the region. The project is already benefiting the community and is not fully built out yet.

We discuss the project and the challenges they face -- from pole attachments to a host of hostile lobbyists in the state capital.
