Coming up at 3 ET today (and archived later), don't miss our Business of Broadband discussion featuring @matthewrantanen.bsky.social moderating a discussion with Linnea Jackson from Hoopa Valley PUD, Angela Diahkah from Jemez Pueblo Network, and Valerie Fast Horse with Red Spectrum at Coeur d'Alene

Splicin and dicin here at Tribal Broadband Bootcamp Led by @matthewrantanen.bsky.social and our own @sportshotchris.bsky.social, the Hoopa Valley Tribe, Cold Springs Rancheria, Pueblo of Jemez, Tolowa Dee-ni' Nation and the Indigenous Connectivity Institute are all here digging in and getting busy!

Serious hands-on learning at the 16th Tribal Broadband Bootcamp TBB co-founder @matthewrantanen.bsky.social “accidentally” cut the fiber feed on the instructional network so JNet techs in training fr the Jemez Pueblo in NM could splice & fix They had network back up & running in under 30 mins! 🙌🏾

This was an epic bootcamp! Thank you, everyone who made it so special!

Gearing up for another Tribal Broadband Bootcamp with @sportshotchris.bsky.social at RantanenTown Ranch just outside Temecula Three days submersed in the building and operation of fiber and wireless networks Exciting to see Tribal nations establish digital sovereignty 🛜 💻
