@dansapienza Don't forget the part where the Pilot card can't be used because of dense smoke, which is because of the Climate Change expansion.

@communitynets *tragically wrong

Denver opted out of SB-152!
While it may create some new fiberhoods, our best bet is using it as an injection of offense to remove SB-152 entirely at the state level.
Maybe I should back into the game with a bigger prize?

Chattanooga again makes history - announcing free fast broadband Internet connections for 32,000 kids (17,000 families) in the free/reduced school lunch program. Raising the bar yet again! https://t.co/YHo31q3ozU

@communitynets That's such fantastic news.
I had to convince our local officials to not charge extra for modem & wifi for Digital Equity tier customers.
Took off $10.00/mo.

@bikerglen @SmashBrando @LovelandPulse Where Pulse nailed it out of the gate is already announcing beacon availability, outside City Limits install, and a very detailed rate fee card for residential.
This is superior to the offerings in Fort Collins where we're months behind on some of these moves.

Digital inclusion updates from @angelasiefer of @netinclusion - where have ISPs done well? What should they do better? Is it time for a real federal broadband subsidy? Podcast! (available in an index near you) https://t.co/BLP4zDy3pG

What's happened in Colorado is why Congress should pre-empt the 19 state laws that prohibit cities & towns from deciding whether to build their own #broadband networks. Community networks are good for consumers AND for public safety. https://t.co/t0goCkmPxn

@kristinmstephen This is good. Kudos!

@ajlovesfoco This is good. Kudos!

@LovelandPulse @maxamillianlevy @reporterherald I really admire this approach. The dashboard is a really good move and will fend off a lot of unnecessary PR damage.
I plan to share these ideas with those in Fort Collins.

@ConnexionFC @dansapienza I'm hoping this email SQL was corrected. We never received an email that service was available, which should always beat the door hanger.
We had service installed on 2/4 with no digital confirmation still to this day, despite two household members signing up for it months ago.

@bikerglen @dansapienza This is a hold-up.
Like, hold up, stop walking towards me.

@dansapienza @bikerglen One of the few opportunities that we'll all have to express our personalities, via face mask fabric, while we avoid every other human.
Which means my mask will likely have Nickelodeon characters.

I really hope local government officials have bookmarked and are referring to the great work from National Digital Inclusion Alliance to connect low-income households. Offer page from big ISPs here. https://t.co/DiSerHavW8

@dansapienza Toast Lambkin. Breakfast, breakfast, the Lambkin Way.
