The vast majority of them are people living in rural areas, where tech companies have declined to install the infrastructure necessary to bring high-speed Internet to a small number customers due to the cost.

Another one of her fatuous campaign pledges was to install 500 million solar panels in five years. Imagine the cost and territory necessary for that pie in the sky promise.

If you want free Internet go to one of those suites hotels. The name brand hotels want to charge $20 a day.

The left-wing fool named Bill White who was the mayor of Houston said, as one of his campaign promises that he would hope to provide high-speed access to all and was hoping that the corporate sector would step up and provide it.

He was the laughing stock of Houston! ;-)

this is how she views a certain segment of the voting public as stupid

I remember Slick promising to wire schools for Internet and USA Today or some media quoting a mom as saying she’s voting for Clinton for that reason
