Economic Growth & Quality Jobs

Investment in building high speed networks creates jobs that have historically been union represented and, thus, provide high wages and good benefits.

In addition, the revolution in the development of applications not only creates jobs but also many opportunities for innovation, growth, and e-commerce.

Technology can also break down the barriers of distance, allowing residents of more remote communities to fully participate in economic and civic life.

Broadband also allows rural communities the ability to attract businesses and individuals that would not be able to otherwise live and work in rural communities.
