50 years? It took more than 50 years for electricity to reach everyone in the United States in spite of its many benefits. The establishment of high-speed internet has vast benefits. Yet the major players are focusing on the most lucrative areas and leaving out the spaces that are harder to connect. But we don't have 50 years to become connected. The time is now to establish connectivity. About 25% of Rutherford County's homes have dial up only. It is not a function of whether someone can afford it. It is a function of geography. So communications companies are deciding who has economic development and who does not. The time is now for us to have a plan and implement it. What do you think?
