"There are people in Kansas who are alive today who can remember what it was like when rural electrification came to their home. It was a game changer in terms of the way they lived their life and the way they operated their farm. ... The broadband component has that same potential to have that same level of change."
-- Mike Matson, Kansas Farm Bureau
