Farm Fresh Broadband by Christopher Ali Pdf

An analysis of the failure of U.S. broadband policy to solve the rural–urban digital divide, with a proposal for a new national rural broadband plan. As much of daily life migrates online, broadband—high-speed internet connectivity—has become a necessity. The widespread lack of broadband in rural America has created a stark urban–rural digital divide. In Farm Fresh Broadband, Christopher Ali analyzes the promise and the failure of national rural broadband policy in the United States and proposes a new national broadband plan. He examines how broadband policies are enacted and implemented, explores business models for broadband providers, surveys the technologies of rural broadband, and offers case studies of broadband use in the rural Midwest. Ali argues that rural broadband policy is both broken and incomplete: broken because it lacks coordinated federal leadership and incomplete because it fails to recognize the important roles of communities, cooperatives, and local providers in broadband access. For example, existing policies favor large telecommunication companies, crowding out smaller, nimbler providers. Lack of competition drives prices up—rural broadband can cost 37 percent more than urban broadband. The federal government subsidizes rural broadband by approximately $6 billion. Where does the money go? Ali proposes democratizing policy architecture for rural broadband, modeling it after the wiring of rural America for electricity and telephony. Subsidies should be equalized, not just going to big companies. The result would be a multistakeholder system, guided by thoughtful public policy and funded by public and private support.

Let's Go See Mother Wilkerson's Farm by Earnest Hooks Jr. Pdf

Th is book is published in honor of Mrs. Lizzie Wilkerson, artist, who was born in 1900 in a rural community of Newton County, Georgia, USA. She was the youngest of 21 children, although she was childless. In 1919, she married Dewey Wilkerson a local friend, laborer/mechanic, and moved to Atlanta. In 1978, her brilliant and unique talent was discovered through a Georgia State University community outreach program, headed by Jean Ellen Jones, Professor Emeritus of Art. Following three successful, separate shows in the Atlanta metropolitan area, Mrs. Wilkersons artwork hangs in the most prestigious museums of the United State. Animal Parade is in the permanent collection at the Museum of American Folk Art, New York, New York; Covington Country Plantation hangs in the National Museum of American Art, Smithsonian Institute, Washington, D.C. and Pink Angel is in the permanent collection at Atlanta High Museum of Art. Mrs. Wilkerson died in 1984 at the age of 84, following a brief illness. During the last survey, owners of her art have refused all requests from buyers regardless of the amounts.
