…while Western North Carolina looks like this TODAY.I would just like to remind everyone that CNN has yet to send a single reporter down to #WNC to cover the fact that people are living in tents, in the bitter cold.

But to take it one step beyond mere technical views and introduce the common lexicon bridge, we need to be having discussion centered around the capabilities associated with those services.
