A week that starts with three job openings that never got posted and ends in a Houston convention hall where the industry quietly admitted the build isn't the hard part anymore. Drew walks through what happens when you hand a hiring plan to a bot named after a president, and what happens when two thousand creators all hit upload in the same ballroom.

Then two takes on the Broadband Communities Summit, before and after: the agenda that celebrates raising the money while skipping the affordability gap, and the two days in Houston that made the case for connectivity, devices, education and workforce development as four legs of the same stool.

The three staffers Drew didn't hire, and what that says about your job. Social Fest 2026 and why two thousand phones uploading is a capacity problem, not a coverage problem. What's missing from the Broadband Communities Summit agenda: affordability, spectrum, and LEO. Two days in Houston: the second digital divide, the long tail nobody funds, and Pharr's 13,100 subscribers.
