We wrote yesterday about the effect the broadband stimulus bill may have on rural ISPs, and today we ran across a nice rundown of broadband access in rural America over at Daily Yonder. Their article takes the latest Census of Agriculture (2007) data, published this month, and uses the numbers as a proxy for rural broadband. It inspired us to grab this chart from the census, although for more details, check out the Daily Yonder story.
