Stuck in dial-up age, rural Ohio still pushing for high-speed internet. (Columbus Dispatch, 3/25/2018)
Only about one in six of Meigs County’s 24,000 residents live in its seat, Pomeroy, or its largest village, Middleport. The rest live in the country, where even mobile service is undependable. Across Meigs and Vinton counties, more than half of residents lack adequate home broadband and about one-third of businesses don’t have a website.
“In this day and age, it’s hard to fathom that there’s so many gaps in coverage. We’ve been a step behind since forever,” said Perry Varnadoe, Meigs County economic development director. “We are rural and remote, which means it’s more important for us to be connected.”
