A report by the Center for Rural Pennsylvania concerns broadband access: rural.pa.gov/publications/br… E.g.: as of 2018/2019, ISP-provided broadband speed data was completely unreliable & discrepancy between ISP-reported and measured speed had only grown worse since 2014. #PaLA2022

From the audience, something identified as an issue affecting parts of rural PA: cryptocurrency "farms" disrupting actual farms (apparently including by high-pitched computer noises from the servers annoying farm animals???) #PaLA2022
