Gregory S. Powell: College students need broadband at home
When people ask me as a college president what they can do to support education, I surprise them with four short words: Help us get broadband.
Dont misunderstand, broadband is just part of what we need. Like any college president, I want our students to have a larger library, a wider selection of course offerings, distinguished visiting scholars to complement an outstanding permanent faculty, and beautiful physical facilities. However, for a community college in rural Texas (or anywhere in rural America), one of the greatest immediate benefits for our students would be the ability to have high-speed Internet connection known as broadband in their own homes.
