ISPs push for internet for rural America
With Congress creating the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, a group of ISPs, the WISPA, or the Wireless Internet Service Providers Association, is looking to Congress to push for funding to connect parts of rural America to the world wide web.
A significant number of rural communities in America do not enjoy internet access, mostly due to logistic concerns and the cost of installing the equipment and facilities for them to connect to the net.
But through the new bill, WISPA is looking to Congress to give federal grants to ISPs with good track records so that internet facilities can be installed in these communities. WISPA is expecting that in the introduction of the internet to these places will also help user in added opportunities as well as boosted economic growth and better delivery of public services and utilities.
