Albemarle County:
“People living in digital dead zones in rural Albemarle
County are closer to getting service. The Albemarle County Board of Supervisors
will get a presentation Wednesday from the Broadband Task Force. The task force
is expected to identify when and how dead zones in the Scottsville, Samuel
Miller, and Whitehall districts will be fixed.
‘I understand that we were just recognized, the city of
Charlottesville, as being one of the top ten wired communities in the entire
country,’ Albemarle County Supervisor Jane Dittmar said. ‘So to drive 15
minutes outside and have people who can't have internet, can't use their cells,
or can't get emergency vehicles in there because they don't have that, [it]
doesn't make any sense.’
Dittmar says she hopes private broadband service providers
and the county can work together. She would like to see effective service
everywhere in the county by the end of this year.”
