Description

On your Daily Detroit: Technology expert Tom Lawrence joins me to cut through the clutter on a move by AT&T to no longer offer DSL service. It has a pretty big impact here in Michigan as their alternate service - Fiber - isn’t available to most of their homes. And considering everyone’s working from home, schooling from home, it puts a number of communities at a big disadvantage.
