Letter: Time to do something about broadband in Maine
Share
Tired of complaining about your internet? It’s time to do something about it! The Maine Broadband Coalition, in partnership with AARP Maine and others, has launched the “Get Up to Speed” initiative to aid broadband expansion efforts in Maine.
Did you know that Maine is ranked as the 43rd state in the U.S for broadband access? Thousands of Mainers currently do not have access to high-speed internet and, as a result, are left with little or no connection to family and friends. Just one reason why AARP Maine cares so much about this issue is because in Maine, over 135,000 people 50-plus live alone and are already at a higher risk of experiencing social isolation. The pandemic has only magnified the need to expand high-speed internet access statewide.
