It's an overused phrase but there really are two Americas. Can you imagine your life without broadband or cell service? How would you function? That's reality for large swaths of rural America.

Even here in Michigan you can get an hours drive away from Detroit our largest city and experience it. These same people only got electricity in the thirties because of a federal program.

It's long overdue that we offer rural broadband as part of an infrastructure bill.
