Internet access is essential to so many aspects of daily life, and broadband access is becoming more and more essential too. In order to browse the web quickly, to take online classes, and to watch videos or do other high-bandwidth tasks, broadband is necessary. However, millions of people in the U. S. do not have the option of this faster internet service available to them.
Part of the reason that so many people lack access to broadband is to do with rates of adoption of wired technologies.
