Are ISPs Biased Against Conservatives?
Millions of Americans particularly those in rural areas do not have reliable internet access despite billions of dollars in broadband funding(1).
The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) estimates that only 18 million Americans still do not have broadband access.
However, this number drastically understates the extent of the digital divide in the country. Researchers from Microsoft learned that more than 162 million people in the United States still lack broadband connectivity(2).
Simple observation can tell us that Americans living in predominantly red states have the worst internet access in the country(3). It seems that people living in the more densely populated blue states enjoy faster internet speeds than remote communities.
Complicated politics. Not sure who is paying for this.
