Greg R. Lawson, research fellow at The Buckeye Institute, issued a statement after the Ohio Senate passed House Bill 2, which will expand access to broadband to unserved areas of Ohio, saying, “It has become increasingly clear that access to high-speed broadband is an essential part of daily life in America, and the COVID-19 pandemic highlighted the need to expand service as millions of Ohioans began to attend school, work, shop, and visit their doctors from home. House Bill 2 is an important step towards increasing access to this critical service.”
