Rural Residents Face Internet Blackout

00:00 /

In this show, we take up the subject of rural internet service. Many rural residents in the Santa Cruz mountains face losing their internet access.

Guests will talk about possible solutions to this dilemma and whether internet service should be treated as a utility and guaranteed to all residents. Guests are residents Phil McManus and Jodi Frediani, Congresswoman Anna Eshoo, and Cruzio’s CEO Peggy Dolgenos.
