Thank you, thank you for providing me with some ammunition to debunk yet another article of misconception in the media. You may want to peruse this little ermmmmm “gem” from a blogger on the Huffington Post.

I’ve found a few studies done around broadband deployment in West Virginia and neighboring states. Expect my response soon.
