Shocking, right?  In this day and age, probably so, but the statistics don't lie.  According to the FCC, millions of Americans (particularly those in rural areas) are going without high-speed connections and either stuck with slow internet or none at all.  And if you know anything about business, you'll know that it's become a critical asset to have a working high-speed connection. 

"There are still 19 million Americans who lack access to high-speed Internet, according to the Federal Communications Commission's Eighth Broadband Progress Report.

At this stage in the Internet's evolution, that number is shocking and brings home the fact that the natural spectrum landscape is not as stable and robust as one might assume, Chris Hoover, Openet's vice president of product management, told TechNewsWorld.

"Responsibility falls on many people who have a stake in the industry, but carriers can help spread the spectrum by focusing on areas lacking coverage instead of updating areas that already have it," he said."
