What do you guys think? Are internet speeds across the country causing a digital divide? Let’s do an impromptu poll…what is your connection speed? How much do you pay? Provider? Where are you located? Put your answers in the comments section.
The big swing owes to the way broadband is deployed. In the U.S., it's basically up to individual companies to decide where to offer broadband. Big broadband players such as Verizon have tended to focus on densely populated areas, where they can get more subscribers. CWA says such disparities hurt consumers, and hurt bigger national aims.
