Teri recently attended a special screening of the documentary “Every Last Mile”, an insightful film that delves into the persistent gaps in broadband connectivity across rural America. The event, which included a discussion led by Katherine O’Hearn, Andrew Berke, and Tamarah Holmes, highlighted the complexities and essential efforts required to build and sustain high-speed internet infrastructure in underserved areas.
The documentary vividly illustrates the mission-critical role of public-private partnerships in closing the digital divide, a goal Teri is deeply committed to for the Virgin Islands. Inspired by the compelling stories of resilience and innovation showcased in the film, Teri remains dedicated to advocating for robust connectivity solutions that ensure no community is left behind in our increasingly digital world.
