Subject: Much-needed broadband infrastructure
I am a computer engineer who has worked from my home office for 17
years. Last year, CenturyLink installed fiber-optic internet within
1/2 mile of my cabin, which is in the middle of nowhere outside
Placerville, Idaho. I am now able to work from my cabin, which I did
for most of 2020. Over the course of the year, I hired 9 local
craftsmen as I enhanced the cabin. That is the impact of one remote
worker living in your community. Having reliable broadband in rural
Idaho will be a tremendous benefit to our economy and bringing
resources (grocery stores, gas stations, medical clinics, schools,
etc.) to parts of Idaho that have been declining in population for 50+
years.
