On your Daily Detroit: Technology expert [Tom Lawrence](https://www.lawrencesystems.com/?ref=dailydetroit.com) joins me to cut through the clutter on a move by AT&T to no longer offer DSL service. It has a pretty big impact here in Michigan as their alternate service – Fiber – isn’t available to most of their homes. And considering everyone’s working from home, schooling from home, it puts a number of communities at a big disadvantage.
