Bridging the Digital Divide in Maine
About this episode
Host Tom Bell discusses the digital divide in Maine with guest Kayla Lewis, focusing on broadband access and digital equity.
Host Tom Bell sits down with Kayla Lewis to explore the real-world impacts of the digital divide and the ongoing effort to expand broadband access across southern Maine. Kayla shares what it means to be on the front lines of digital equity—helping people navigate essential tasks like applying for jobs, housing, and benefits in an increasingly online world. While she’s not a policymaker or engineer, her work as a connector between communities and digital access programs is critical to ensuring that broadband investments translate into meaningful, equitable access for all Mainers.
