WHAT:
As documented in The Book of Violations & Egregious Acts: Trillion Dollar Broadband Scandal, there is an historical context of an on-going trillion dollar scandal that has caused high priced Internet and low
quality service (no fiber-optic access to the Internet), blocking disabled/minority/low-income and tribal communities from accessing jobs, education, health and economic resources. Wireless IS NOT a cogent alternative lacking both in quality of service and safety to users. And, Los Angeles County (and like regions throughout the US) will receive mere pennies, if anything, from BEAD and other government funded opportunities – despite representing the country’s most lacking regions in
fiber-optic connectivity. WHEN:
Monday, June 24, 2024, 9:30 a.m. PST / 11:30 a.m. CST / 12:30 p.m. EST
