Don't Kick New Hampshire Off the Information Highway
Target: New Hampshire State LegislatureSponsored by: SpeedMatters.org
These days, Internet access is a must for vibrant communities.
Tell the State Legislature to reject the Verizon-FairPoint sale, and make sure high-speed Internet connections are readily available to all New Hampshire residents.
Unfortunately, New Hampshire already ranks near the bottom of states when it comes to phone and Internet service. And it could get worse.
Verizon Communications is about to sell its telephone access lines to debt-ridden FairPoint Communications. If the sale goes through, most New Hampshire residents would have almost no opportunity to obtain high-speed Internet access.
Small communities need the education, job training and economic prosperity the Internet provides. It’s not right that New Hampshire residents, especially those in rural communities, get left behind!

We need more choices not less! Its bad enough that I currently have only one choice for high speed internet, having a company strapped for growth only limits our future.

New Hampshire is already underserved when it comes to high speed internet sevice. In parts of my town residents can't even get cable t.v. never mind a decent internet connection! Depriving residents of decent internet access makes our children second class citizens in the educational arena, and it deprives many the opportunity to tele-commute with their jobs. In the 21st century the internet is no longer a luxury it is a necessity.
