As we have all experienced the first year and half of Covid-19, it is clear that working from home has un-even rules. Some of us have the space at home, some of us can do work remotely. It's assumed most of us have access to a powerful enough internet to work with colleagues and customers. Yet, in reality, and especially in the United States, many do not have that privilege. Yet their work and working habits could be seen on the same level as their peers with the right type of internet access. With the onset of Covid-19, we have transformed from a world where 3% of us worked from home to one where maybe 30% or more work from home; (as of publication, the number is 26%) this rural access divide will become an increasing disadvantage for a sizeable under-served swath of society. Twenty-five percent of the US live in a rural environment. As we all work in a digital world, why would we want to stunt opportunities for one in four of us?See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Bruce McClelland - Can a $100BN government fund rid us of the rural internet digital divide. Ask Space X

On this episode, we hear from Bruce McClelland, CEO of Ribbon Communications, about his company's work with broadband service providers in the rural US.McClelland says he took advantage of this last year of lockdown to reach out to policymakers in Washington, DC, and local reps at the state level, to "gauge tone" on rural broadband. We talk about his takeaways from those conversations, as well as the challenging economics around expanding broadband in hard-to-reach areas, why he's enthusiastic about the outcome of the Rural Digital Opportunity Fund (RDOF) auction and more.
