This is an amazing video, a wonderfully told story that makes the case so
eloquently for community-owned broadband.  I knew about EC Fiber and CV
Fiber but I had no idea just how much more progress had been made in recent
years.  It is truly impressive.  It is also a testament to having the right
policy and regulatory environment.  Communications Union Districts have
enabled something amazing to happen, well that and small groups of
thoughtful, committed people.

My favourite quote is at 25:23
<https://youtu.be/dmAkjKQF0D0?si=6guQKU3MlgziwdRA&t=1523> when Rob Fish,
Deputy Director of the Vermont Community Broadband Board says:

"That's why I like calling them 'Community Broadband Networks.' These
aren't just fibre networks, these are community networks. They are building
community, they're building capital, resources, and new opportunities for
communities and the community's doing it themselves."

"And then, even once this network is built, we're not done. we talk a lot
about remote work, education, telehealth, no.... this is about equity. This
is about being able to participate in your community."

100% inspiring.

-Steve
