Our latest episode features AAF’s Director of Technology and Innovation Policy Will Rinehart discussing efforts to expand broadband Internet in rural areas.

Rinehart breaks down the problem they are trying to address and the challenges that come with their proposals. As a bonus, he shares his interest in jazz music and what is on his current playlist!
