Washington, D.C. - January 9, 2017 - (The Ponder News) -- After his speech at the Farmer's Convention in Nashville on Monday, President Trump signed an executive order to expand broadband internet to rural communities.
“President Trump’s focus on expanding broadband to rural areas is good news for Missouri farmers, ranchers, and, most importantly, families,” Senator Roy Blunt - (R - MO) said. “Today, an estimated 61 percent of rural Missourians lack access to broadband. By ending the digital divide, we will help our agriculture industry thrive and meet world food demand. We will provide students and teachers access to new learning tools and educational opportunities. We will enable small businesses to compete in a global economy. And, we will expand access to quality healthcare through telemedicine. As a member of the Senate Commerce Committee, I’ll continue working with the administration and my Senate colleagues to bring high-speed internet to every community in Missouri.”
