Broadband Access Leads to More Critical But Better Informed Citizens

On this show we comment on a Study by Pew Internet and American Life Project that finds that citizens who have broadband access at home are often more engajed in their communities but tend to be more critical of their surroundings. Civic Discourse receives a boost, and that has been one of the points this radio show has been making since its launch in October '09. Rural America Radio gives voice to rural residents and those who wish to promote the well-being and economic growth of rural communities across the U.S. We bring you the very best in talk-show programming related to rural American affairs, by deliberately focusing on the use of technology, especially high-speed Internet, and healthy living. Rural America Radio is a project of the Rural Mobile & Broadband Alliance (rumbausa.com). Listeners may join the show and ask questions by dialing 646-378-1746.
