In this election season - how do YOU plan on getting your information? Without #internet access, information is increasingly hard to get! There are millions of people in the US and globally without this important access! #broadbandforall

The digital divide isn’t new, but the pandemic makes it an emergency. @netinclusion op-ed in @thehill thehill.com/opinion/technolo…

Many Americans still don’t have internet access — Congress should help

Congress cannot stand idly by while millions of people across the country continue to go without broadband access.

#WorldInternetDay marks the anniversary of the first Internet transmission, sent by #MarconiFellow Leonard Kleinrock. As we reflect on 51 years of connectivity, in a year when the Internet has taken on a newly enormous role, we remain committed to bridging the digital divide.

"Unless you're willing to go without hospitals after a car wreck or heart attack, we need a different approach. Despite mixed messages, it seems like masks are the best bet. They're a hell of a lot better than widespread shut downs. Please wear one!" flip.it/QIeFS-

This Republican governor just showed the receipts to the coronavirus ‘herd immunity’ crowd

Tate Reeves is the Republican governor of Mississippi. He’s also an economics major who worked for a bank prior to getting into politics.In other words, he knows numbers.Which brings me to a series...

In a new @NYTimes op-ed, I laid out my plan for a "connectivity stimulus" to support the #COVID19 public health effort and our economy. The entire telecom sector, including @FCC, must cooperate to rapidly increase broadband capacity, access, and adoption. nytimes.com/2020/03/19/opini…

If more people in #OHIO had home #broadband connectivity our #Census2020 counts might have gone up!! No surprise if you force people to respond online - we would miss a big chunk from those who didn’t have #connectivity- particularly when #covid19 has libraries closed!

We currently have 16 representatives in the US House - Ohio is projected to LOSE one seat after this census -- bringing our representation to its lowest point in 200 years. That's why it's so important that EVERYONE IS COUNTED! Learn more commsols.com/CensusCongress
