Hillbill - you can find more info about the e-NC Authority by checking out our Web site: www.e-nc.org

And as far as what you can do to help, you can DEFINITELY e-mail your state/local elected officials to let them know how important rural broadband is. If you need help figuring out who those folks are and how you can reach them, send me an e-mail at cedgar@e-nc.org

Hey I lived in Caswell County all my life and I'm frustrated with internet Service where I live because its like I'm surrounded by Brodband Internet but its not available where I live. I was 13 when I really started wanting good internet. Now I'm 17 and still I am on Dial up. I'm a gamer I used to play online game known as WoW. But I quite cause the connection of dial up as we know is bad. and alot of people where I live are still stuck on Dial up as well.

Also it aggrivates me knowing I cant browse the web for School and ect a good speeds. The faster internet could also help with many other things.
