| Reliable Broadband Is An Essential Tool said by soothsayer15:in another topic:
If an ISP sucks cancel. No one cares if you don't have another broadband option. Broadband is a luxury not a right.
The Montgomery County MD county council disagrees with soothsayer15. So do I.said by MCMD Bill 28-02 FAQ:
Q: Why are cable-modem service requirements so important?
A: The Internet has become an essential tool in business and in many individual’s lives. Cable modems are by far the most common way of getting high-speed, broadband Internet access. Reliable broadband access will encourage telecommuting to reduce traffic and improve workers’ quality of life. It will help promote education, commerce, and employment. Montgomery County has one of the highest levels of computer use anywhere in the world. As the home of many high-tech employers, such as the National Institutes of Health, a thriving biotech industry, and several key media and communications companies, our community is more dependent than most on the wide availability of reliable broadband Internet access.

| . . . and in the future, as the Internet becomes even MORE ingrained into our daily lives, cheap, reliable broadband will become even MORE essential. Yes, essential . . . not just a luxury for the people willing to pay for it, but a service that is necessary to sustain and nurture a high standard of living, like sewer and water.
