About this listen
In Episode 3 of "The Long Report," host Chris Long interviews Kevin Tucker, a key figure in bringing internet connectivity to Mecosta County in the 1990s. The episode delves into the history and evolution of internet services in Green Township, exploring Tucker's journey from starting with mechanical office machines to pioneering internet services in the area.
The conversation provides a detailed account of the technological shifts from mechanical to electronic systems, Tucker's educational background, and his early involvement with emerging technologies like ATMs and the internet. Tucker discusses the challenges he faced in establishing Tucker Communications, including the high costs of servers and modem racks, the need for self-taught skills in a rapidly evolving tech landscape, and the complexities of expanding internet services in a relatively rural area.
