Rural gets worse

“The underserved rural markets are already trailing large urban areas in investment and higher speeds. This order does nothing to further additional investment, much less competition, in those markets. Under the FCC’s proposal, productivity factors and picking winners and losers with questionable data would make rural markets poor candidates for investments that would enable 5G technology,” said Michael T. Skrivan, FairPoint Vice President, Regulatory. “We are concerned the FCC’s rush to regulate would harm the country’s most vulnerable consumers.”
