Broadband leaders can disrupt by focusing on community

If speed and price are the go-to-market strategy, commoditization and price wars are the only outcome—as we have seen in mobile. To compete and win, broadband service providers need a community strategy that empowers all aspects of the community: residential, business, education, multi-dwelling units (MDUs), and government.
