Letters To The Editor
Editor:
Every business is looking for acom-
petitive edge--so ns every state. And
right now, Kansas is falling behind.
Until all Kansans, in communities large
and small, have access to broadband
technology, we are not fully preparing
ourselves for the future,
Broadband technology, or high-
speed interact access, is important to
every state's econonly, It allows busi-
nesses to run their dey-to-day opera-
tions more effectively and efficiently.
It holds the promise of new markets
and access to new customers.
In December, 2001, Area Develop-
ment magazine surveyed corpgrate
relocation professionals. One of the
strongest factors in deciding where to
do business was the availability to tele-
communications services. Right now,
that availability is limited at best--more
than 100 Kansas cities do not have
access to high-speed DSL Internet ser-
vice.
Ensuring that all communities have
broadband will create new jobs and
generate more tax revenue. The tele-
communications and technology sec-
tors account for at least 25 percent of
overall economic growth in the United
States, m~ it.the driving force in
the economy m recent years. Evenit
small number of jobs can have a sig-
nificant impact on a community's
economy. For example, creating 25
positions that pay $30,000 a year (the
state average) can have a ripple effect
of more than $2 million as those dol-
lars are spent--and spent again---lo-
cally.
Laws on broadband fairness en-
courage investment in the technology
by applying the same rules to all pro-
viders of high-speed internet, whether
they are cable, phone, satellite or wire-

It' s time for Kansas state legislators
to eliminate that uncertainty by pro-
viding rules that will stimulate broad-
band investment. Making broadband
more available across the state will
benefit Kansans by stimulating com-
petition, expanding choice, and moti-
vating continued investment.
