Broadband Breakfast Presents the 12 Days of Broadband

December 21, 2023 – With the Winter Solstice upon us, Broadband Breakfast today presents the first of its “12 Days of Broadband,” our series of our take of the top 12 issues in 2023.

We kicked off this annual tradition last year with a series of 12 articles available to Broadband Breakfast Club members.

Between today and January 3, 2024, we’ll be rolling out a story a day every day (except Sundays). Besides keeping you entertained, we hope that each piece builds to larger discussion about what was new in 2023 – and what we can expect in 2024.

In our last Broadband Breakfast Live Online of the year, on Wednesday, December 27, 2023, we’ll talk about the first six stories in the series.

And, in our first Broadband Breakfast Live Online of 2024, on Wednesday, January 3, I’ll be joined by a group of tech journalists to talk about the complete series of 12 stories.

Of course, you’ll have to wait until the next day of broadband to find out the story. But for now, please enjoy:
