In many rural communities across this great nation, dial-up is still a main means of internet access. In this increasingly digital world we live in, the internet is increasingly becoming a necessity, instead of the privilege it once was. For students in these rural areas, grades can be affected. For military spouses, communications can be limited due to exorbitant pricing on data. For people who attempt to work from home, the boundaries set forth by this data ransom can force them to move or in other ways hinder their productivity. For these reasons and many more high speed lower cost internet is a necessity in our country and we should recognize that fact.
