Description
Breaking the Internet by Terrence Denoyer offers a compelling story about overcoming the digital divide. In 2020, Ector County, Texas faced the challenge of providing high-speed internet to every household, amidst the pandemic. This book chronicles the journey of Superintendent Dr. Scott Muri and Chief Technology Officer Dr. Kellie Wilks as they respond to the crisis, form a task force with local government and business leaders, and seek credible data on broadband access. The authors' expertise in systems, data, user experience, education, and government provides a unique perspective on this issue. The book is an origin story about breaking down barriers to equitable broadband access, highlighting selfless leadership and the choices made for the long-term prosperity of the community. Terrence Denoyer's narrative weaves together local and national contexts, making this story relevant not just to Ector County but also globally.
