EXPAND BROADBAND ACCESS
Citizens cannot fully function in an interconnected world that demands more bandwidth than dial-up can provide in rural America. We can quickly expand last-mile service to those in need by funding community anchor institutions and subsidizing small business entrepreneurs.
A commonality in rural America and cities is the high number of low-income individuals and families that either can’t afford regular access to broadband Internet or cannot afford the hardware necessary to access it. Although the information, services, and products are virtual, the hardware is essential to reach it. By funding community anchor institutions, we can provide that hardware and much-needed access.
