Some say that connectivity tools are the most enabling technologies on the planet. Imagine surviving a pandemic without the ability to remote work, tele medicine, distance learning, online groceries … yeah, not good. Edward McNair is the Executive Director of the North American Network Operators Group (NANOG) and, it can be argued, the voice for connectivity. This week Edward joins Dave to discuss his role at NANOG and his mission to bring awareness and unlimited opportunities to all people, on the next QTS Experience.
