   I would like to encourage our community to do whatever we can to bring high speed internet to our area. I know the F.C.C. is subsidizing rural broadband, "to ensure that all Americans receive the benefit of 21st-century communications". The impact of high speed internet would affect many sectors of our community including education, business, hospitality, etc. I can't see any negative side effect of providing this service. Please find below a link to a NYTimes article with more details about the F.C.C. subsidizing rural broadband service. http://www.nytimes.com/2014/05/24/business/court-approves-fcc-plan-to-subsidize-rural-broadband-service.html?_r=0 I have tried to work with Comcast and Century-link to pull a fiber optic connection to my neighborhood, however these companies are not interested because I live in a small rural neighborhood and they do not think they would see a return on their investment. I'm now turning to the community and government in hopes we can get it done

   The new i80 interchange at exit 141 between Jeremy Ranch and Pinebrook will be constructed in the summer of 2018. Our area is also poised for TREMENDOUS growth. THOUSANDS of more cars will be in our neighborhood very soon. WE NEED SAFE PEDESTRIAN ACCESS ALL THE WAY ACROSS THE NEW INTERCHANGE. There are over 1900 students going to 4 different schools in the immediate area. None of them can walk or ride their bikes to school because the interchange is not pedestrian friendly. I have a facebook page that has a TON of information on the issue. Please look at it. I've been working on this cause for 4 years. Please, invest in alternative modes of transportation in our growing community.
