In this episode of Connected Nation, we continue our coverage from the Broadband Communities Summit in Houston, Texas. 

Jessica Denson speaks with Tyler Dempsey and Shelby Smith of Sonar Software about what sets their OSS/BSS platform apart in a rapidly changing industry—and why launching their new podcast “Bandwidth” is part of building stronger connections.

Later, we hear from Adeyinka O. Ogunlegan, Chief of Staff and VP of Federal Affairs at the National Urban League. She shares why broadband access is a critical civil rights issue and how digital equity is foundational to economic empowerment.
