Virtually everything we do in our lives today relies on technology. Yet, between five and six million Americans still don't have access to high-speed internet. And while that number is startling, it has fallen significantly in the last four years. 

In this episode of Deciding Factors, Ajit Pai, former Chairman of the Federal Communications Commission, talks about the role his administration played in decreasing the digital opportunity gap, and the work that’s still to be done. Ajit also speaks about the FCC’s plans for 5G, and changing regulations for media ownership that will help local news teams compete with Big Tech.
