Rural Internet
October 18th, 2009 | Uncategorized
It’s not always easy for parents to help their kids with homework or school projects. Parents may have never studied the subjects their children seek help with, or too many years have gone by. Trig is pretty easy to forget. After all, parents rarely if ever need to use trig in their workplace.
The internet is a huge help in this area. With the power of Google Search, parents can find web pages with answers to questions their children have, but they’ve long forgotten. Consider also that the internet has the answer to any question that can be answered, and the vast majority of that help is free, and finding answers on the internet can be very, very fast.
Well, “can be” very, very fast.
Too many families living in rural areas suffer with slow dial-up internet service. Cable and telephone companies are unwilling to draw wires to their remote homes in sparsely populated areas. It’s hard to argue with the economics the cable and telephone companies face. Cable and DSL internet service need to be near the customer’s home and providing that service is expensive. But there is another option that growing numbers of families can use for their rural internet service -
Satellite Internet.
Satellites hovering in the heavens beam high speed internet signals all over the United States, to even the most remote areas. High speed satellite internet is not more expensive to deliver to a remote valley in Texas than to a suburb in Chicago.
