I worked on a deal with a US state government to bring broadband to unserved and underserved areas by working with local ISPs. Largest proposal of my career so far and will be nice come bonus time if we win but, honestly, if it were me I’d just give the unserved folks out in the country starlink vouchers instead of pouring millions amd millions into ISPs and call it a day.

I probably would have been fired if I said that out loud in front of the client.
