There has been a lot of talk recently about the Multi-use Corridors of Regional Economic Significance (M-CORES) program — about how it’s not needed — and I want to speak up and bring some rural perspective to the discussion.
The district I represent is largely rural, and I live in a rural area. It is an area that does not have a consistent speed of at least 10 megs of download and 1 meg of upload. I’ve also regularly heard from those in my area, and experienced myself, inconsistencies in this speed, or that some don’t even have access to it at all.
