Rural Broadband In America
Rural Americans spend most of the first thirty years of the 20th century in the dark. By the early 1930’s only ten percent of the rural population enjoyed the benefits of electricity compared to over 70% of their urban counterparts. Most of the electricity available to farmers was provided by cooperatives – groups of residents who laid the line, set up and maintained the systems as public utilities had little desire to spend what was necessary to serve so few. With the Rural Electrification Act of 1936 (7 U.S.C. 901-950b) rural electric development took off. Most of the loans the Act made available were given to these local cooperatives. Today, electric cooperatives own and maintain almost half of all distribution lines in the country.
