CEO Tim Bryan on LiveOak Fiber Podcast

NRTC CEO Tim Bryan was a recent guest on “The Fiber,” a podcast produced by LiveOak Fiber, which provides broadband in rural Florida and Georgia. He described an evolving competitive environment where broadband providers in urban areas are pushing fiber deeper into their networks, while many rural areas still have no access to wired broadband. The next three to four years will see more rural providers building fiber facilities of their own, often with financing through state and federal programs. Challenges remain, including rural labor shortages, inflation, and supply chain delays.
