As a school teacher, having fiber obtic internet availability in rural areas would greatly impact and transform the educational opportunities of our children in MS. So this is a big yes for me!

This is at least one barrier that affects our schools that can be easily remedied. Let's get it done.

This is great and would change the game and introduce more competition that will lower prices for Broadband.

Yes rural Mississippians NEED internet so they can participate in the 21st Century and have access to the outside world, an outside world that poverty rarely allows them to even glimpse.

One of the main reasons I’m running for Congress is to get Internet in every part of the State & especially in rural Mississippi. I fully support this 100%

I have had the pleasure of serving in mostly rural congregations but one of the biggest struggles is the unavailability of high-speed internet access. This would be a game changer for schools and people in general.

More competition and options are always good for consumers.

Rural areas should have the same opportunity for high speed internet as municipalities.

There’s no reason every home in Mississippi shouldn’t have access to fast internet. It will save Mississippians money and allow children access to internet in underserved areas

I also think there should be a limit on how much they can charge for it. Especially the ones that aren't regulated by the Public Utilities Commission. They already charge through the nose for electricity, because they can.

We need more options for Internet providers to keep the cost of it down. Comcast kills the market

I live in the country where it’s not accessible!! We pay taxes just like people that live in the cities!! We should get the same accessories as they do!!

My parents are unable to get high speed internet and they are located only 13 minutes from Oxford.
