“I visited a home there. I stopped by to say hello, and there was a woman in that home who had a little device on her counter. It looked different to me. It had a camera mounted on it. It was no bigger than a shoe box. She had a bracelet hanging on a little round projectile on it. I said: Well, what are you doing there? She said: I am taking a picture of this bracelet. I said: Why are you doing that? She said: I sell on eBay. Here in my hometown is a woman who sells on eBay, and she takes a picture of those products and puts them on her computer. She told me she has been supplementing her income by doing business on eBay. It describes the need, even in a town of 300 people, for computer access, the need for broadband, the need for the big pipes in which you can do business on the Internet in a way that does not take you a day to download something others are downloading in 5 minutes.”
