| | Rural Broadband Coalition - "The Rural Broadband Authority" |
 | | RBC serves Internet service providers, telecommunication companies/utilities, for-profit utilities, rural electric cooperatives, municipalities, public utility districts, tribal communities, technology companies, government organizations, associations and other interested parties that are dedicated to supporting the deployment of broadband Internet access to rural America. |
 | | While the Internet is changing the world economy, technology experts say, “large parts of rural America are losing out on jobs, economic development and civic participation” because of inadequate access to the Internet. |
 | | With member support and participation, RBC hopes to become the leading representative and proponent of universal broadband Internet access for rural communities. |
