As much of daily life migrates online, broadband—high-speed internet connectivity—has become a necessity. The widespread lack of broadband in rural America has created a stark urban–rural digital divide. In Farm Fresh Broadband: The Politics of Rural Connectivity (MIT Press, 2021), Dr. Christopher Ali analyzes the promise and the failure of national rural broadband policy in the United States and proposes a new national broadband plan. He examines how broadband policies are enacted and implemented, explores business models for broadband providers, surveys the technologies of rural broadband, and offers case studies of broadband use in the rural Midwest. Ali argues that rural broadband policy is both broken and incomplete: broken because it lacks coordinated federal leadership and incomplete because it fails to recognize the important roles of communities, cooperatives, and local providers in broadband access. For example, existing policies favor large telecommunication companies, crowding out smaller, nimbler providers. Lack of competition drives prices up—rural broadband can cost 37 percent more than urban broadband. The federal government subsidizes rural broadband by approximately $6 billion. Where does the money go? Ali proposes democratizing policy architecture for rural broadband, modeling it after the wiring of rural America for electricity and telephony. Subsidies should be equalized, not just going to big companies. The result would be a multi-stakeholder system, guided by thoughtful public policy and funded by public and private support. Dr. Christopher Ali is Associate Professor in the Department of Media Studies at the University of Virginia and is also the author of Media Localism: The Policies of Place. He is a Knight News Innovation Fellow with the Tow Center for Digital Journalism at Columbia University and former Fellow with the Benton Institute for Broadband & Society. Michael O. Johnston, Ph.D. is Assistant Professor of Sociology at William Penn University. His most recent research, “The Queen and Her Royal Court: A Content Analysis of Doing Gender at a Tulip Queen Pageant,” was published in Gender Issues Journal. He researches culture, social identity, placemaking, and media representations of social life at festivals and celebrations. He is currently working on a book titled Community Media Representations of Place and Identity at Tug Fest: Reconstructing the Mississippi River.

At EUHA 2025, Oticon introduced its newest in-the-ear hearing aid, Oticon Zeal, bringing the company's second-generation AI sound processing and BrainHearing™ technology to a smaller, ready-to-fit form factor. In a discussion at the conference, Anja Nagel L'Harraki, Senior Vice President of Global Marketing at Demant, and Ole Asboe Jørgensen, President, Hearing Instrument Group, described Zeal as offering the same audiological performance as Oticon Intent, but in a more compact design.The Zeal features always-on AI-based sound processing, binaural beamforming, and a refined feedback management system that maintains clarity and comfort even with a single-microphone setup. Asboe noted that by positioning the microphone deeper in the ear canal, the design takes advantage of natural pinna cues while minimizing internal reverberation, allowing performance comparable to dual-microphone models. The device can accommodate fittings for mild to moderate hearing loss, offering both same-day fittings with domes or custom earmolds for a more personalized fit.Connectivity was a key focus of the launch. Zeal supports Google Fast Pair for Android devices, enabling quick pairing directly through native phone controls, and is fully compatible with Auracast™ broadcast audio through the Oticon Companion app. According to the team, users with existing Oticon Intent devices can enable Auracast access through a firmware update.In addition to its compact size, Zeal includes rechargeable power, delivering up to 20 hours of use with four hours of streaming. Initial rollout began in Denmark, the U.K., and Switzerland, with U.S. availability expected in early 2026.**Oticon Zeal press release: https://hearinghealthmatters.org/hearing-technologies/2025/oticon-zeal-hearing-aids-rechargeable-ai/Be sure to subscribe to our channel for the latest episodes each week and follow This Week in Hearing on LinkedIn, Instagram and X.- https://x.com/WeekinHearing- https://www.instagram.com/thisweekinhearing/- https://www.linkedin.com/company/this-week-in-hearingVisit us at: https://hearinghealthmatters.org/thisweek/

Why you should listen Uplink is building a decentralized network that connects people, devices, and businesses through shared internet infrastructure. It allows individuals and organizations to contribute their existing Wi-Fi routers and other connectivity devices to a global network, turning unused bandwidth into an asset. Participants can earn rewards for providing connectivity or verifying that network nodes are operating correctly, creating a distributed and incentivized internet ecosystem rather than relying solely on centralized telecom providers. The Uplink system operates with several key roles. Consumers use the network to access connectivity, while providers share or deploy routers and other hardware to extend coverage. Verifiers check that network nodes are genuine and functioning as claimed, validators maintain the blockchain that underpins the network's operation, and holders stake the native token to help govern and secure the ecosystem. Together, these roles form a circular economy where connectivity, verification, and governance all reinforce each other. Uplink's goal is to scale beyond Wi-Fi into other communication technologies such as 5G and LoRaWAN, creating a fully decentralized connectivity layer for the modern internet. The company is hardware-agnostic and aims to integrate with millions of existing access points worldwide. Over time, Uplink plans to expand its network through user adoption, partnerships, and blockchain incentives, establishing an open, verifiable infrastructure where anyone can contribute to and benefit from global connectivity.   Supporting links Stabull Finance Uplink Andy on Twitter  Brave New Coin on Twitter Brave New Coin   If you enjoyed the show please subscribe to the Crypto Conversation and give us a 5-star rating and a positive review in whatever podcast app you are using.

“AI is hungry — for bandwidth, for speed, and for talent.” — Jean-Philippe Avelange, Chief Information Officer, Expereo Jean-Philippe Avelange, CIO of Expereo, joined Doug Green, Publisher of Technology Reseller News, to discuss findings from Expereo's Horizon Telecom Report—revealing how U.S. organizations are losing millions to network failures and struggling to find skilled professionals in cybersecurity, networking, and data automation. Avelange explained that as companies digitize everything from collaboration to customer experience, connectivity interruptions now directly halt business operations, making network reliability as vital as cybersecurity. “Modern enterprises are building their products and services on connectivity. When it stops, business stops,” he noted. The AI multiplier AI adoption is compounding the challenge. “AI is not just another workload—it's a new kind of demand,” Avelange said. AI-driven automation, real-time data flows, and low-latency interactions place unprecedented pressure on legacy network architectures. Organizations can no longer treat networking as a commodity; they must rethink it as a strategic platform requiring redesign and intelligent automation. The human factor According to Avelange, the real shortage isn't people—it's adaptability. The industry needs professionals skilled in network automation, data flow optimization, and problem solving, not just hardware management. “AI won't solve your problem if you don't understand the problem,” he said, advocating for upskilling internal teams alongside strong partnerships with managed service providers (MSPs) that bring intelligence, not just infrastructure. Latency by design Latency, Avelange warned, must be addressed before deployment. “You can always add bandwidth, but you can't add speed after the fact. Latency has to be engineered from the start.” A new mindset For Expereo, the future of networking lies in intelligent connectivity—solutions that merge automation, analytics, and agility to keep enterprises resilient in the AI era. “We're not selling boxes,” Avelange said. “We're helping companies design the networks their digital business runs on.” Read more in the Horizon Telecom Report or visit expereo.com.

 In 1950, the Texas A&M Board of Directors charged the Texas Transportation Institute (now the Texas A&M Transportation Institute, or TTI) to enlist the broad resources of the college across the spectrum of transportation research to benefit Texas, while also providing unique educational opportunities for students to study and work in the field. This agreement solidified the Cooperative Research Program between the then-Texas Highway Department (now the Texas Department of Transportation) and TTI. For 75 years, these agencies have partnered to conduct applied research that benefits Texans and travelers worldwide by innovating and improving the safety, mobility, and resilience of our transportation network. Our host, Allan Rutter, talks about this longstanding relationship with TxDOT Executive Director Marc Williams and TTI Agency Director Greg Winfree.

Welcome to episode #1005 of Thinking With Mitch Joel (formerly Six Pixels of Separation). Every major leap in human connection starts as a simple question: what if? For Rouzbeh Yassini-Fard, that question led to the invention of the cable modem and the birth of broadband internet access as we know it. Often called the “father of the cable modem,” Rouzbeh is a visionary engineer and entrepreneur whose work transformed how billions of people access information. His new book, The Accidental Network, traces the improbable journey from an idea nobody believed in (“why would anyone want the internet at home?”) to the global infrastructure that now powers our economy, culture and daily life. In this conversation, he reflects on the messy, human side of innovation: the skeptics who dismissed broadband, the long nights building hardware that few thought possible, and the radical choice to make his breakthrough technology open-standard so the world could share it. Rouzbeh speaks with humility about how chance, persistence and purpose collided to shape the digital age, and how broadband became not just a business revolution but a social one, connecting homes, hospitals, schools and communities. He also wrestles with the moral dimension of progress, calling for a balance between capitalism and conscience as we enter an era defined by AI, environmental strain and “data as the new oil.” From the early chaos of coaxial cables to the moral complexity of modern networks, Rouzbeh's story is a reminder that technology's true purpose isn't speed or profit... it's improving the quality of life for everyone it touches.

The agentic AI space faces challenges around secure, governed connectivity between agents, tools, large language models, and microservices. To address this, Solo.io developed two open-source projects: Kagent and Agentgateway. While Kagent, donated to the Cloud Native Computing Foundation, helps scale AI agents, it lacks a secure way to mediate communication between agents and tools. Enter Agentgateway, donated to the Linux Foundation, which provides governance, observability, and security for agent-to-agent and agent-to-tool traffic. Written in Rust, it supports protocols like MCP and A2A and integrates with Kubernetes Gateway API and inference gateways.Lin Sun, Solo.io's head of open source, explained that Agentgateway allows developers to control which tools agents can access—offering flexibility to expose only tested or approved tools. This enables fine-grained policy enforcement and resilience in agent communication, similar to how service meshes manage microservice traffic. Agentgateway ensures secure and selective tool exposure, supporting scalable and secure agent ecosystems. Major players like AWS and Microsoft are also engaging in its development.Learn more from The New Stack about the latest in open source projects like Agentgateway: Learn more from The New Stack about the latest in open source projects like Agentgateway: Why Tech Giants Are Backing the New Agentgateway Project AI Agents Are Creating a New Security Nightmare for Enterprises and Startups Five Steps to Build AI Agents that Actually Deliver Business Results Join our community of newsletter subscribers to stay on top of the news and at the top of your game.  Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

AI networks are driving dramatic changes in data center design, especially around power, cooling, and connectivity. Modern GPU-powered AI data centers require far more energy and generate much more heat than traditional CPU-based setups, pushing cabinets to new power densities and necessitating advanced cooling solutions like liquid direct-to-chip cooling. These environments also demand significantly more fiber cabling to handle increased data flows, with deeper cabinets and complex layouts that make traditional rear-access cabling impractical.
