Why Do We Need Better Broadband?

"Lincoln knew firsthand the deprivations, the marginal livelihood of the subsistence farmer unable to bring produce to market without dependable roads, " writes historian Doris Kearns Goodwin. "Primitive roads, clogged waterways, lack of rail connections, inadequate schools -- such were not merely issues to Lincoln, but hurdles he had worked all his life to overcome in order to earn an ampler share of freedom. " Today's "internal improvements" aren't about canals or railroads, but about an information superhighway -- one that needs to run through all the towns, villages and boroughs of our united nation. These improvements are, in a word, about broadband.
