Comment on AT&T’s fiber deployment: 1Gbps for the rich, 768kbps for the poorparent

Comments

"Internet access that's only 768Kbps."

The problem is that cell service and sometimes Internet services are becoming close to a necessity for getting jobs or cheap goods. There's a lot of people in rural areas kind of stuck because they don't have such things or have them periodically. I know some. Two of my family members were in that situation with one sort of out of it now. She got a job right after I bought her a single month of phone time. She had to borrow time on our PC and Internet to do all the online applications. All she needed were two things hard to get for the poor.
