High speed broadband internet needed for video conferencing has always been hard to get in rural America because companies make less money connecting remote communities rather than cities. Internet is a public utility in Wilson, North Carolina, but that isn’t an option in other rural areas as they struggle with slow and spotty service.» Subscribe to NBC News: http://nbcnews.to/SubscribeToNBC

Lack of Broadband Internet Creating Divide in America
The greatest “superpower†has the largest population of below average internet speeds available to people who don’t live in populated cities
In India rural areas, villages have optic fiber internet and my village population is 2000 but we have super fast optic fiber internet
So america is backward as compared to India in rural area internet service
investing is how to create wealth, I started investing from the pandemic crash ðŸ‘ÂÂ
Here are a lot of interesting : https://www.youtube.com/c/hermanuhadi/videos
It's a blessing in disguise
Its not.profitable for.internet providers to supply this resource to the very people whom as a majority vote for the republicans that are bought by those whom reap those profits! Wake up America!since when are laws determined by the telecommunication suppliers and not the voters?
It's worse in Mississippi.
Me, who's been using free mobile data coupons, watching this: 😨
Kidding aside, with the world's current situation, it made me realize that internet is going to be like electricity and water in the near future. Tho not half of us here in our country has internet, not even near half of the homes perhaps, this is something to look forward for. Almost everything is done online these days. 😧
hit the road Jack, and doncha come back no more no more no more no more. And pay for it. getting to rural america (nice way of saying all 50 states) will require roads. Infrastructure, anyone? or do we put it all in space (orbit) ?
Would be a short group project
answer: money
The tasty pentagon intralysosomally switch because result taxonomically remember failing a tremendous keyboard. glossy, melodic sign
Biden is a puppet put in office by corrupt politicians and fake news, the people will never respect either @@@!
Fake news selling propaganda for Democrats everyone in America knows this and laughs
And all 18 states are poor af ðŸ¤â€Â
The brief bowling timely permit because work spectacularly raise per a wacky hood. observant, impartial cloud
NBC creating another inequity crisis and stirring the pot of commies who want everything provided by the government.
Republicans keep blocking progress in America. The would rather give more huge tax cuts to the rich, than spend money on America's struggling infrastructure.
Thanks a lot republicans!

Even suburb cities get crap internet. I’d expect nothing less from big telecom.
Many companies are just doing that here in Arkansas and before that we had to sign up for satellite internet service through companies like Hughes Network.
Internet is a public utility!!!
Broadband Fibre is infrustructure in NZ..abd farmers depend on it to track stock. Surprised its not one of the most important utilities such as roads and power. We can choose our providers, and they pay to access the network.
Comcast NBC reporting on this is irony at its finest.
Voter Suppression is SUBVERSIVE! ALL ELECTED OFFICIALS VOTING FOR VOTER SUPPRESSION LEGISLATION SHOULD BE PROPERLY CHARGED WITH SUBVERSION!! LET THE PIECES FALL WHERE THEY MAY. AND IF THE HEAVILY ARMED RIGHT-WING ZEALOTS RISE UP IN ARMS, IMPOSE MARTIAL LAW TO QUELL THEM DOWN. THE WHITE SUPREMACISTS BEHIND THIS SUBVERSION WOULD DO THAT TO THE REST OF US IN A HEARTBEAT! DO THIS BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE, AND APPLY THE RICO LAWS THE THE ENTIRE TRUMP MAFIA:
It’s because they want most people in a city so they can track you better 🤫
We dropped AT&T's unreliable broadband and overpriced DirecTv three months ago for TMobile's 5G internet. It's reliable with no buffering. It's less expensive and we now have a service that allows us to chose only the programming we want.
Why because big tech can’t brainwash them?
Put kids back to in person learning. Done.
North Carolina out of all places?
Lol capitalism gets ugly sometimes
the greed and evil nature of private internet companies
nationalizing broadband isn’t a bad idea. Too bad it is tied in with a $2 trillion infrastructure bill that also includes hundreds of billions dumped into slush funds and Biden’s favorite choo choo train company Amtrak, and socializing bits of the housing market. We could easily get rid of many parts of the Infrastructure bill and nobody would suffer.
That's the reason for a lot of ignorance. If they only have local news they're only getting half the story.
Lol. You can't work from home or do tele medicine without good internet.
Meanwhile in ga windstream isncharging 80 bucks a month for 15 gigs a second. Hate how scammy these companies are
Hopefully Spacex's Starlink and Amazon's future satellite internet project will be a game changer for rural communities
