Now I have to go read all 79 comments.... The federal government says more than one-third of Alabama residents lack broadband internet service. A new report by the Federal Communications Commission says almost 35 percent of the state's residents don't have the high-speed service needed for today's digital offerings. That means nearly 1.7 million people statewide lack a fixed broadband connection. Nationally, about 17 percent of Americans don't have such service. The situation is worst in rural Alabama. About 56 percent of state residents living outside cities lack broadband service. The FCC report says people living in states with the lowest population density are 10 times more likely to lack broadband service than people in high-density states.
