Broadband has become the electricity of the twenty-first century. It’s fundamental to the way people work, live, and learn. The future of medicine is telemedicine. The future of education is online education. And the future of agriculture is precision farming. Even with a future where there is more computing intelligence “at the edge”—meaning with ubiquitous small and powerful devices that process more data themselves—there still needs to be some high-speed access to the cloud. And that requires broadband.
