Jim Cashel is a researcher and visiting fellow at the Harvard Kennedy School of Government and chairman of Forum One – a web strategy and development firm. His new book, The Great Connecting, examines the emergence of global broadband and how it will likely impact the world.
"We're on the brink of one of the most transformative events in world history" ~Jim Cashel
