Who We Are
Broadband Insights was founded by Patrick Hutto after more than a decade designing fiber networks for hedge funds, financial exchanges, large ILECs, regional ISPs, and municipal systems. We have deep experience developing enterprise-level SaaS platforms for the broadband industry, and we bring that same builder's mindset to every AI engagement.
Patrick Hutto
Founder & CEO
Patrick has spent his career on the ground floor of broadband, literally. Before founding Broadband Insights, he spent more than a decade designing and deploying high-speed networks for hedge funds, financial exchanges, large ILECs, regional ISPs, and municipal broadband systems, and saw the same gap on every project: field data never translated into the story providers needed to tell stakeholders and boards. Patrick built Broadband Insights to close that gap, and today he applies that same instinct to AI, bringing data science, GIS, object detection, and large language models to the industry's next set of challenges.
John Sullivan
Partner
John spent his career driving innovation from inside a broadband provider. As Chief Innovation Officer at Lit Communities, he was responsible for evaluating and deploying new technology across the business: figuring out not just what was possible, but what a network operations team, a board, and a customer base would actually adopt. That is exactly what AI consulting requires: knowing which tools solve a real operational problem, and knowing how to get a broadband team to actually use them. As Partner at Broadband Insights, John brings that same perspective to our AI consulting work, helping providers move from curious about AI to running it in production.
M&A Consulting
Beyond software and AI, we also offer M&A consulting for broadband providers, bringing an operator's eye to deal evaluation and due diligence.
