The co-founder and CEO of Starry, a company that aims to bring high-speed Internet to as many people as possible, has been named one of Inc.'s "Next Establishment List" for the second year in a row.
Chet Kanojia, who co-founded Aereo, a company that allowed people to record and watch live TV over the Internet, was named one of Inc.'s entrepreneurs of the year, as well as one of Time's "50 Best Websites" and a "Top 50 Technology" pick by MIT Technology Review.
In an interview with Cause artist Grant TrahantGrant, Kanojia explains how his company, which has customers in Boston, Washington, DC, Los Angeles, New York City, Denver, and Columbus, Ohio, aims to provide affordable, high-quality broadband to as many people as possible.
"Connectivity is a social good and therefore should be both affordable and ubiquitous," he says. "We're trying to make broadband available to as many people as possible in as many places as possible."
