  Pew Study Says 70% of Americans Support Municipal Broadband

“A majority of Americans across a wide range of demographic groups are 
in favor of local governments being able to build their own high-speed 
networks,” according to a new Pew study 
<http://localnetchoice.us8.list-manage.com/track/click?u=09c6fc743c87e862042edd5d5&id=8b9ed72e02&e=d1bb241e3d> 
conducted between March 13-27, 2017.  Seventy percent (70%) of the 
public believe "local governments should be able to build their own 
broadband networks if existing services in the area are either too 
expensive or not good enough.”

Reflecting a trend we are seeing across the country, support for local 
Internet choice crosses party-lines. According to Pew, solid majorities 
of Democrats (74%) and Republicans (67%) favor the right of communities 
to make their own decisions about municipal broadband networks. With the 
growing importance of the Internet for job applications, for education, 
for healthcare, for public safety, and more, Pew found that almost half 
of Americans are saying home broadband is “essential.”
