AAW Policy Bites: Rural Infrastructure & Broadband: Expanding Rural Broadband Access

Topic: Broadband Expansion in Rural America

Rural America deserves the same reliable internet access as urban communities. AAW supports policies that expand broadband to underserved areas, ensuring that farmers, families, and businesses can fully participate in the digital economy.

📌 Our Position: AAW advocates for targeted federal and state investment in rural broadband infrastructure. We support partnerships with private providers and oppose policies that leave rural regions behind in connectivity.

🌐 Why It Matters: From precision agriculture and online markets to education and telemedicine, high-speed internet is vital. Without it, rural communities face economic, social, and safety disadvantages.
