They put in fiber optic lines here last summer. No hookups yet. This is a fairly rural area. I have heard that the project was paid for with a grant. We do not have a land line phone here because it is expensive and does not include long distance. Previously even calling twenty miles away here from the land line meant a long distance charge.
Is it a right to have high speed Internet? Probably not but I'm with Goldcatt, I think it is the right thing to do. Wealth in every way you can think of has been stripped from rural communities for years and years in favor of corporate globalization. Would everyone now deny the people in rural America a service that cities that were built largely with the help of taxpayer dollars enjoy?
