The state of Tennessee recognizes that broadband internet access is vital to the economic growth of both its large municipal areas and small towns. The Broadband Accessibility Act has provided millions in funding for infrastructure development that will generate high speed access to over 800,000 citizens. Local internet companies will also be able to work with utilities to connect with existing cable or wire to generate more options for rural residents. These changes will help the local providers bring cable connections to remote towns, or just provide greater options for suburban regions. Faster connections are becoming a necessary part of life as more people get online for work, school, education, and other daily tasks.
