The future belongs to the connected. No matter who you are or where you live in this country, you need access to modern communications to have a fair shot at 21st century success.
I think our standard should be 100 megabits because I think you have to set big goals if you want to do audacious things.
If we can map those places as a community, I think that we will all contribute to solving this problem faster.
