During this time of national and global pandemic, those who work in city areas but live in rural areas, require optimal internet services for work and children attending school virtually. Presently, service options are extremely limited and internet service is poor. Those who are required to work from home dealing with national and international conference meetings are affected negatively due to bad service. This is a reflection on job performance directly. Internet services should be provided the same in rural areas as it is in urban and city areas. Also, extending these services would bring about more jobs to cover rural areas.

Currently, companies like Hughes Net and Viasat offer an inconsistent satellite coverage at a premium of $250.00 monthly for non-guaranteed download speeds of 100Mbps and upload speeds of 6Mbps at a 2-year contract that cannot be cancelled or downscaled once agreed upon. Meanwhile, premium fiber optic services from AT&T in most urban areas offer 1000Mbps connection, with 50-75 times faster upload speeds at a cost as low as $50.00 a month which is non-contractual.

Furthermore, extending these services to rural areas would ignite more communications and engineering jobs. The infrastructure of implementing fiber optic lines and systems would constitute increased manpower. Increased maintenance support would also bring 25-30% new jobs in rural Louisiana as well.

In conclusion, the benefits of productive career and school performances are to be gained with a more optimal and reliable internet service such as fiber optics. Also, state economics could be stimulated with he introduction of new jobs from installing these infrastructures and support systems. These are requirements are essential to today's living environment and must not be ignored.
