TechnologybasedIndustryCreatesJobs,YetAreasofWashingtonMayBecomeIsolatedfromSuch
OpportunitiesWithoutAccesstoBroadband,TrainingandEducation
Asbroadbanddependentjobsarecreated,communitieswithaccess,education,andtrainingintheskillsrequired
couldbenefitsubstantially.However,providersperceivethatthecoststodeploynextgenerationtechnologies
maybe

and
thus,
those

that
