In time, perhaps as soon as 24 months from now, ISPs will operate in nearly all the small towns and cities of the U.S.
Predictor: Schrader, William
Prediction, in context:In his October 4, 1994, testimony at a House of Representatives Science Committee hearing on the Internet, William Schrader, president and CEO of Performance Systems International (PSI), says: ”There are no obstacles for rural residents who are technically astute and interested in obtaining Internet access. The cost is slightly higher, but the service is identical to that delivered in the largest city. The costs of food and housing are typically lower in rural areas, while the costs of communications and computers are typically higher. Internet is no exception. In time, perhaps as soon as 24 months from now, ISPs will operate in nearly all the small towns and cities of the U.S.”
