- Not intentionally buried! We've tried to include updates on this 
project in every newsletter since the project began.

- The main purpose of the project was to show that the speeds that 
providers say they are providing in rural areas are not quite correct 
and to use the results to inform public policy on rural development. 
Many of the measurements in our project also took place on public roads 
(155 sites) as getting access to private farmlands is difficult. But we 
were fortunately able to take measurements on five different ranches (at 
seven separate sites).

- Thanks: we have the support of CA State Broadband Coordinator Chief 
Strategy Officer for Agriculture Technology and Innovation, Robert Tse, 
who has already had discussions on the project in D.C as well as with 
other states looking to replicate the project in their own regions.

We're also working on a video of the project which we'll release soon 
and will be highlighting the results of the project at the Silicon 
Valley AgTech conference in May.

Cheers,

Susannah
