Finally, some real infrastructure money going to the places that actually feed the country instead of just the cities.

Real high-speed access in the country changes how people run farms and do business out here.
Rural broadband that actually works means farmers can line up jobs, bids, and material orders without burning daylight driving into town.
Rural broadband access changes how music gets made. Real-time uploads and collabs from anywhere.
