OCTA – Ohio’s Broadband and Cable Association – presented the inaugural Champion of Broadband Award to Lt. Gov. Jon Husted on Tuesday. The award, established to recognize Ohioans who are leading advocates of broadband connectivity in the state, was presented to Husted in recognition of his advocacy of broadband connectivity in the state. The ceremony took place at Ohio Northern University in Hardin County, which is one of the most distressed Ohio counties outside of Appalachia. OCTA member company Charter Communications (Spectrum) has been awarded state and federal grants to support Charter's expansion of broadband to more than 3,625 currently unserved or underserved homes and small businesses throughout Hardin County.
