SURVEY Continued from 1 Road after she took the Commission post. There was no Internet service to that area, but giv en her job and her husband’s job, they simply had to have Internet service at home. They opted for satellite service at a cost of $200 a month. Davison knows that’s far more than some people could afford, but they had no choice. “After that our home was ‘Homework Central,”’ she joked. “It wasn’t the best service but at least it was reliable.” There are other ways that high speed Internet can be a game changer. High-speed Internet services would open up telemedicine to more area residents, Davison said. It would create business op portunities as well “They are able to have that type of service in Eu rope, why not here,” she asked. “It would open up having more home-based business es” she said. “You don’t al ways need a manufacturing plant to have good jobs.” The survey will find out what level of services cus tomers actually have - not what Internet companies just say they have to offer. Many Internet services advertise they have speeds “up to” a certain number but don’t make it clear what the lower end of the service will be. The crowdfiber service includes an actual speed test that becomes part of the survey. In 2015 the FCC raised the download standards for broadband to 25 megabits per second from 4 Mbps. Up load standards to be consid ered broadband were raised from 1 Mbps to 3 Mbps. Armed with that hard data, Davison said the Com mission could approach Internet Service Providers (ISPs) to find ways to im prove coverage and speed and bring services to more people. “Our broadband provider partners need concrete data on demand for services in order to help demonstrate a return on investment, espe cially in our more sparsely populated areas,” Davison said. In a perfect world every body could get low-cost high-speed fiber optic cable delivered to his or her door, no matter how rural the area is. Davison accepts that may not be possible. While fiber may be the ultimate super-fast thing for Internet users, Davison said the reality is in rural areas that may not happen. The next best thing is using fixed asset wireless. That involves putting trans mitters on towers or tall structures that can bounce signals back and forth. “But it (fixed wireless) is better than not having any services at all,” Davison said. The broadband survey can be accessed at accog. crowdfiber.com. People with questions about the survey can call 426-5753 or e-mail broadband@accog. org For people that don’t have a place to take the sur vey online, hard copies are being made available by the Albemarle Commission so everyone can participate. Surveys will be distributed libraries, senior centers, and schools and Social Services. Davison expects the sur vey will wrap up by June 30. The Albemarle Commis sion’s 10-county area in cludes Camden, Chowan, Currituck, Dare, Gates, Hyde, Pasquotank, Perqui mans, Tyrrell, and Washing ton. STATEMENT Continued from 1 colleagues to tour the first wind energy facility of its kind in North Carolina.” His statement goes on to say that Moore has learned a lot since signing the letter to Gen. Kelly. . “Based on the informa tion I have gathered to day and over the past few weeks, it appears the initial concerns raised by the mili tary are being addressed,” Moore wrote. “I agree with the Navy that further re search is critical to ensure this project does not create conflicts with our critical military operations on the coast.” The Chesapeake Relo catable Over-the-Horizon Radar (ROTHR) facility provides surveillance cov erage for 2.2 square miles of the Caribbean extending north-south from south ern Florida to the northern coast of South America and east-west from the western coast of Central America to the Lesser Antilles. Moore went on to say the Amazon project “takes ad vantage of a valuable natu ral resource” and says “if we work together, our state can successfully balance the concerns of our military ser vice members interest with mqjor new developments like Amazona.” Neither Moore nor his press aide Joseph Kyzer could be reached for com ment. The meeting Jan. 24 was called by Rep. Bob Stein burg, (R-Chowan). Besides Moore, and Steinburg other House members in atten dance included Deputy Majority Whip Chris Malo ne, (R-Wake Forest), Rep, John Bell, (R-Raleigh), Rep. Holly Grange (R-Wilming- ton), Howard Hunter, (D- Ahoskie), Chuck McGrady, (R-Hendersonville) John Szoka (R-Fayetteville) and Sam Watford (R-Thomas- ville). Szoka served 20 years in the Army and retired as a Lt. Colonel. He’s chairman of the committee on Energy and Public Utilities. Grange worked 15 years with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. Bell’s District 10 sur rounds both Seymour John son Air Force Base and the Kinston Jetport.
