Randall McCoy, Susan Dodge Peters

Open publisher page 0 citations

Abstract

Broadband commonly refers to high-speed internet access that is always on and faster than the traditional dial-up access. Most urban areas in the United States have broadband services abundantly provided, but adequate broadband in rural areas in Kentucky and other parts of the country still do not have enough internet service needed to perform and compete in modern markets and complete necessary tasks in communications for education, businesses, health care, and farming communities.
