Broadband access and speed is typically proportional to population density.

Part 2: Research Broadband Access Options for Specific Scenarios

In Part 2, you will research and detail broadband options for the following scenarios and select the best last-

mile technology to meet the needs of the consumer. You can use the http://www.broadbandmap.gov site as a

starting point for your research.

Scenario 1: You are moving to Kansas City, Missouri and are exploring home Internet connections. Research

and detail two Internet connections from which you can select in this metropolitan area.

Answers will vary. The reasons are typically based on price per month, Internet speeds, or packages offered.

Scenario 2: You are moving to an area outside of Billings, Montana and are exploring home Internet

connections. You will be beyond the reach of cable or DSL connections. Research and detail two Internet
