How a 45 day telecom outage in one of Detroit's low income neighborhoods led to a pioneering $11 million broadband experiment
The Ready or Not? podcast features the people who are toiling behind the scenes to close the digital divide.
The show's host is Ready.net and Broadband.money's Scott D. Woods, Esq. He is the company's VP for Community Engagement and Strategic Partnerships.
He is a former senior staffer, and the Inaugural Director of the Office of Minority Broadband Initiatives at the National Telecommunications and Information Administration, or NTIA.
This inaugural show's special guest is Joshua Edmonds, Director of Digital Inclusion for Detroit, Michigan.
In future episodes, Scott will talk to local community leaders, local service providers, government representatives, and national advocates. You'll hear the perspectives and opinions from those who do the work of connecting the unserved and the underserved.
This show will shine the spotlight on those who are building the networks and implementing digital equity programs to ensure everyone can participate in the modern digital economy. But it will also have a lighter side. Scott's guests will share their personal insights and their journeys. The discussion will stay relatively fun and informal.
