Description

In this century, reliable internet access isn’t just a want — for many, it’s a need. The federal government is spending billions to bring broadband to underserved areas, but in the meantime, for residents of those hard-to-reach places, libraries are often the only place to access high-speed internet. In this episode, we visit an internet-providing library in rural Kentucky. Plus: Automakers expected a faster EV investment payoff, and prospective homebuyers play the falling-mortgage-rate waiting game.
