[ih] Ingrid Burrington on North Virginia

[Andrew Blum]

I’ll leave the journalism discussion to the network folks. But I thought it was worth drawing attention to Ingrid’s entire series for The Atlantic, of which this article is only one part. 

In particular I’d recommend her piece on Point Arena, submarine cable tapping and the digital divide:

As well as her requisite “Utah” piece, which has some new (to me) details on David Evans and the U of U, which will be particularly relevant to this list:
