Talk about your broadband business and how it has benefited your members.

Sure.

Thanks, Molly.

I'm gonna start with a real short story because it's relevant for our co-op and also our broadband project.

In the late 1930s, Ivan Laird couldn't get any for-profit utility to bring electricity to his farm and logging operation in the Sitkum Valley, which is an extremely small, tiny community about 45 miles east of Coos Bay, extremely rural.

So he organized his neighbors and built it themselves.

That effort became Coos Curry Electric Cooperative.

Talk about what federal programs you think have been instrumental for Beacon Broadband, and then maybe discuss how NRECA Broadband has helped you at times to take advantage of those programs.
