FCC:

     As an internet consumer in rural WV, I can tell you from personal experience that the new standard of considering both mobile and hardline internet access will not meaningfully increase my access to internet service.
This is caused by several factors, including but not limited to topography, relative remoteness of housing from urban centers, local monopolies, and price. WV is a state renouned for its mountainous terrain, which
both gives our state its name as well as making it expensive to create new infrastructure. To this day, my home which is only about two miles from the nearest cell tower does not receive any cell service. Cell towers are
impractical in my state because the lay of the land interferes with radio signals and expanding this coverage would require a disproportionately costly, not to mention unsightly, expansion of cell towers. This of course discounts
other major issues with mobile internet such as lack of consumer choice, techinical limitations, high price, and insanely low data caps. My family cell plan costs almost 200 dollars a month and provides only 2Gb of data between us.
Sattelite connections are no good either, the tremendous latency and high costs make this an option only for those with more money than common sense. Not to mention the fact that a light drizzle will knock out your internet.
     With cell service being so ineffective at delivering data to its users, the FCC must prioritize expansion of hard data lines. Hard connections are the only way to provide stable connections to the people of my state and such
connections offer far better service. That is not to say that there are no problems with this system. Our county is subject, like many other places in the US, to an ISP duopoly between Frontier Communications and Suddenlink. Both
of these services are terrible, but we have no third option. The FCC would be invaluable to the community by increasing government support for increased competion in the marketplace, as well as offering grant money for internet
Cooperatives in under-served regions. Increased access and market choice would be invaluable to the residents of my state, who keep getting left behind by technological progress.
