We’re thrilled to have 2020 behind us and look forward to fewer challenges andmore opportunities in 2021. What has your business learned during the pandemic? Have youmade any changes—such as havingmore employees work fromhome—that you plan to retainmoving forward? Speaking of learning, schools have had to alter their routines to keep teachers, staff, and students safe. As you’ll discover on page 3, RainbowLIVE Helps Local Schools Share Events on a virtual basis, so family members and friends can watch sporting events and other school activities. Rainbow is proud to provide equipment and training to help schools in our service area take advantage of RainbowLIVE. The topic of education continues on pages 4 and 5, where you’ll find a Business Spotlight on Esports at Highland Community College (HCC). As it turns out, gaming competitions are about more than just having fun. They’re a way for students to build skills and confidence, and an effective tool for increasing enrollment. Gaming also requires super-fast and consistent Internet speeds, which Rainbow provides to HCC. You’ll learn why All-Fiber Networks are Valuable to Businesses on page 6. Then you’ll learn about Deborah Fox, President of Highland Community College, in the Returning to Your Roots article on page 7. If you have a communications problem you need to address this year, contact us at Rainbow. We’ll do our homework and come up with the right solutions.
