Broadband is our lifeline in rural communities
Painfully passing time waiting for that download progress meter to get to 100% is something most of us can relate to. It is one of the most universally frustrating activities of modern life. How long it takes to get to 100% has a lot to do with where you live.
For those of us who live in Arizona’s rural communities it is a struggle to get a fraction of the bandwidth. It is not just frustration, it is one of the most significant factors impacting quality of life in rural communities. The lack of broadband is one of the leading factors that stymie economic development and for most of us, it goes beyond that.
