Speaking of rural broadband... - Entrepreneur Generations

Here's an ironic update on an item we reported recently:

The Farm Foundation, the U.S. Department of Agriculture and several other organizations have created a series of listening sessions on how to improve rural broadband. Today's is being held at the Rice County Fairgrounds in Faribault, Minn., and the Farm Foundation promised a live webcast of the session would be available.

However, we've just received an email saying that they had discovered that low internet speed in the Faribault area will make a live stream impossible. The Farm Foundation's Vice President of Communication, Mary Thompson, wrote in the email: "We regret that we are not able to share the live session with you. This complication does, however, emphasize the need to improve broadband connectivity in rural America."

Click here to see a video of the session afterward.
