Hughesnet in Boulder, Colorado For Sale
About 19 million Americans still have no access to high-speed Internet, according to a new report by the Federal Communications Commission.
About 14.5 million of those without access ? or about 5 percent of the total population -- live in rural areas, where Internet providers do not offer service because "there is no business case to offer broadband,? according to FCC report release Tuesday.
Congress requires the FCC to release a report each year on the state of broadband deployment. The Telecommunications Act of xxxx tasked the commission with ensuring that broadband is rolled out on a ?reasonable and timely? basis to all corners of the country.
But the report found this is not happening.
Nearly a third of residents on tribal lands lack access to DSL or cable broadband and about 80 percent of schools and libraries receiving federal funding for Internet service say their connections ?do not fully meet their needs," according to the report.
Wireless service is also sorely lacking. The commission has identified ?hundreds of thousands of unserved road miles? lacking 3G or better wireless service, according to the report.
