Mr. Alvord, how critical is broadband to farmers to keep up with the evolving agriculture industry?
I want to make sure that efforts to achieve this goal do not harm existing rural broadband providers which are often small businesses themselves.
We also know that broadband impacts the ability of distressed communities to attract jobs and businesses across a host of other industries, including the healthcare and energy sectors.
Ultimately, in many rural communities across the Nation, access to broadband internet remains a major hurdle to retaining and attracting businesses and jobs.
Thank you. Just as it is with the chair, tourism and travel is important to us. I am from Florida.
While EDA can and does fund some broadband projects, we must ensure any unnecessary hurdles are addressed so we can help more Americans get connected.
