	Rural Utilities Service - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Rural Electrification Administration (REA) was a department of the United States federal government created on 11 May 1935 through efforts of the administration of President Franklin D. Roosevelt.
		The REA's task was to promote electrification in rural areas, which in the 1930s rarely were provided with electricity due to the cost of stringing electric lines to farmsteads.
		As the Rural Utilities Service (RUS) it is still a federal government agency of the U.S. government, charged with providing public utilities (electricity, telephone, water, sewer) to rural areas through public-private partnerships.

	EH.Net Encyclopedia: Rural Electrification Administration
		Unlike their counterparts in cities, rural residents were expected to advance the financing for the necessary infrastructure to the firm supplying electrical power from a distant location.
		Rural electric cooperatives account for a much smaller portion of revenue per mile of wire ($7,873) than investor or publicly owned electrical utilities, and a greater portion of distribution plant investment per consumer ($2,352).
		As markets further expand, and rural America is comparatively disadvantaged relative to suburban and urban regions, advocates are likely to call for federal initiatives to address the disparities that arise between rural and urban and suburban regions from market failures and disincentives to investment in new forms of infrastructure.
