The center, based in St. Peter, Minn., says people in rural areas have a harder time getting broadband access at competitive and reasonable prices. The study shows, for example, that about 44 percent of homes in the Twin Cities area have high-speed Internet. That compares with just over 27 percent in rural Minnesota. The center interviewed nearly 15-hundred Minnesotans in October and November of last year, and published the study last week."
