"In the age of computers and electronic
information rural communities such as the ones I represent are lacking
in sufficient Internet service. Those who are lucky enough to have
Internet service in their area potentially wait for hours for documents
to download or even to establish a connection. My district, a
collection of rural communities, would greatly benefit from broadband
connections. Our schools, local libraries, businesses, local
governments and individuals alike would significantly gain from such an
endeavor by St. Louis Broadband."
