Two years ago Governor Douglas outlined a goal of providing broadband service to every Vermonter by the end of 2010. New poll numbers from UVM's Center for Rural Studies show at least 35% of households still don't have access.

VPR's Jane Lindholm talks with Bill Shuttleworth, Executive Director of the Vermont Telecommunications Authority, and Al Duey from the Vermont Rural Broadband Project about the effort to connect every Vermont household to broadband.
