Garbage in, garbage out. Until the standards for reporting are fixed, the national broadband map will be a sports car running on a lawnmower engine - so much promise, but just being held back by something . . . fiercetelecom.com/broadband/mich…

@VPSLT in action at NTCA Fall Conference this morning. Thanks for having us, @NTCAconnect! #NTCAFallConference2023 #NTCA #RuralBroadband

Let's talk fiber! Stop and chat with the Vantage Point team at @fiberbroadband's #FiberConnect2023 in Booth #1309! We hope to see you there! #WhatFiberDisruptsNext

Cost-effectively delivering broadband to rural areas is still a challenge. We have one chance to get it right the first time; the good and bad news is there isn't one "right" way to do it. Join @VPSLT @nokia and @NTCAconnect as they discuss. Register: zurl.co/PCG3

Join @VPSLT and @fiberbroadband on Thursday as they discuss the research and findings of the recent whitepaper. Register using the link below!

@dlawsd @govkristinoem Congrats Denny! You will be great in this position!

I appreciate @govkristinoem appointing me to the South Dakota Board of Technical Education. I have always been a great admirer of South Dakota's technical colleges and the important role of each college for students and employers.

"It's unfortunate that it took a pandemic, but now everyone understands the importance of funding rural broadband." - @kszabo95 speaking to #broadband grant & funding opportunities at @NTCAconnect #RTIME

We wish you a safe and happy Thanksgiving!

From our team to yours: Merry Christmas.

The president's action crosses the line. I believe in the vaccine, but I also believe in a limited federal government. Effectively, this is a national vaccine mandate. Our federal government has never done this before, and it should not do so now.

Broadband is about making sure South Dakotans have the tools they need to succeed in the 21st Century. At my urging, the legislature fully funded broadband expansion this year. We're investing $100 million to get it to every corner of our great state.

FRS is #Thankful for @Vantage_Pnt for their gifts to the Tim Owens Memorial Fund. The fund will combine his commitment to the telecom industry with his passion for arts and opportunities for youth. To donate, please visit our website below 👇 #ThankfulThursday #ThursdayThoughts

Nice to see @Vantage_Pnt @VPSLT on TV at the @IndieShow2020. His advice; continue to position fiber deeper into the network, eliminate actives in the outside plant, prepare for 10 gig and beyond. Order fiber now as there's great demand.

Happy Anniversary to... Us! Vantage Point was founded 18 years ago today. THANK YOU to the employees, clients, friends, and family that have been part of our story for nearly two decades. Without you, we wouldn't be here.

@VPSKevinKloehn See you soon!

Week 29: Wanatah, IN. Back on the road for a couple appointments. Came upon a random house with lots of patriotic yard art. Took a quick pic (in their yard) with the Statue of Liberty.

Appreciated the opportunity to be included in @sdpbnews discussion of telecommunications history in SD. Look forward to @SDPB documentary this fall "The Middle of Everywhere-Connecting Rural South Dakota". tinyurl.com/yakn25an
