Subject: Summary of two technologies that could deliver internet to rural AZ

Hey Mitch and others,

Here is a nice breakdown of the two technologies that I researched for internet at DK (and elsewhere rural).

Facebook’s Anguila drone was performing tests in Yuma, but no updates since summer of last year.

(short videos in each post)

Both of these technologies appear years away, so our best bet is on Verizon moving forward with a cellular tower in Cornville, AZ.

Thanks,
Matt
