CFE Virtual Forum Series:

The pandemic has made clear that good broadband access is essential in the 21^st Century. But it is not available in many northern and remote communities, and unaffordable to many in the south. Join a panel that explores the needs, roadblocks, and solutions, with examples from elsewhere in the world where broadband access is seen as a human right.
