Matt speaks with Kerem Durdag. He is The President and Chief Operating Officer of GWI (Great Works Internet) On High Speed Internet and the impact to Maine.
High speed internet is an urgent necessity for the 21st century. Necessary for creation of jobs, retention of jobs and growth of jobs. For education. For telehealth. The State of Maine, such as ConnectMaine is doing some great stuff; support it. GWI is a founding member of Maine Broadband Coalition and on its governance committee trying to do our part.
There is an economic divide. A digital divide. We need to be inclusive and equitable. Intentionally and with agency. It is all our responsibility to do so.

Portland Ovations will present Samuel James during it’s New Year, New Works at noon Friday, Jan. 15.
James will close the week-long series to kick off a new program of commissioning Maine artists. New Year, New Works is a series of five virtual, 30-minute, meet the artist style events.
Each day those who login will meet a different Maine artist and learn about their project. Register one time for free and attend as many artist previews as you like.
In late April and May, the artists will make public work-in-progress presentations. Ovations will then produce and present the fully commissioned works over its next three seasons.
