PALMYRA, Mo. — Northeast Power hosted their regional stakeholder meeting for broadband internet on Friday, bringing together broadband providers, representatives from different industries, and government officials who shared the goals of increasing broadband access for rural Missourians and improving internet affordability and speed. Rep. Louis Riggs (R-5) said the variety of people who filled the meeting to capacity reflected the community’s shared goal for improving internet access for rural Missourians. The COVID-19 pandemic “exacerbated, but also educated”, Riggs said, laying bare the fact that 23% of all students in Missouri were studying with less than a 25 megabit download/5 megabit upload speed. The latest goals are to get speeds to a 100/100 download/upload speed, and there are billions of dollars coming down through federal programs to help expand rural broadband access, improve affordability and speeds and address “urban deserts” in Missouri
