[RTC List] NPR story about Broadband airs on Monday

[Sean McLaughlin]

Aloha RTC colleagues!

National Public Radio correspondent Laura Sydell was in our region this week
for a story about Broadband and challenges for universal service, including
for remote rural communities in our region.

Her seven minute report will air on NPR's "All Things Considered" program on
Monday March 15th (the day before the FCC releases the National Broadband
Plan) - so tune in to your local NPR affiliate station - or find the program
online!  Note:  the report will also cover underserved urban communities and
national perspectives - including former White House adviser... so the
Redwood Coast part may be small...  still, this report places our local
stories on the national stage!!

Thanks to our local leaders' (including RTC leadership)  efforts to keep the
Redwood Coast in the forefront - Laura was referred to us and introduced to
folks in some of our 'least served' communities with very compelling stories
that will help to inform the national discussion on the eve of the FCC's
release of the National Broadband Plan!  Special thanks to Connie Stewart
for driving and hosting Laura - I think we'll see a nice photo of you on the
NPR website to accompany the story!

And congratulations to RTC for keeping the broadband fires burning!

- Sean
