Also, the Charter’s Government Affairs leaders, in partnership with Field Operations, will discuss the company’s ongoing commitment to expand rural broadband access and inform area stakeholders and elected officials about serviceability and service offerings. Additionally, we will open dialogue with a robust panel discussion featuring key area stakeholders to share collaborative experiences to help connect Indianans with much needed high-speed connections to power work, play and home life-balance.
