How You Use Communication?

How You Use Communication?
One of the most pressing issues with technology for me today is the availability of high speed internet in my rural community. Presently I am sitting in a house three miles form my house that has cable and high speed internet. This option is not available for me three miles to the north. Geographically, I am in a dead zone, I need the service but can not purchase it because I live in a non-service area. The modern advances of global technology has by passed our area. Provider after provider explain that they are unable to service the area. This is a true measure of the haves and the have not's regardless of social economic status. My representative to the North Carolina Legislature stays about four miles west of me and he is in the same situation. The need is here the request has been sent but the gatekeeper has not provided the customers with service.
Yes I have the wonderful technology option of dial-up. This option works a certain times and it disconnects in the middle of your project. While the warning is good the reconnection is a pain and the wait time is enough to drive you mad. No, I am not complaining, I love my home and community. I just have a difficult time community from my residence. Hours an hours on the dial -up is a waste of time and a henderance in completing required assignments. I can imagine what it is like for a high school student trying to complete an English project or an AP or an IB assignment. With all the advances of technology, I am sure we should be able to supply high speed internet services to all customers in the state.
I use technology daily and communicate with various forms. My cell phone is with the only company that provide service in my community with out standing at the right spot in the driveway or yard. At least there is a cell phone company that services my area. Thanks Verizon. It great to communicate but there are barriers across the state, region, nation that impacts global communication.
