21 CCI should actively promote the improvexrrsn of telecorm mications and technology
22 advancements in rural counties. Improvements it telecommunications and technology am
23 . essential .for the continued quality of life and economic survival of rural counties.
24 TELECOMMUNICATIONS PROVIDERS SHOULD BE ENCOURAGED TO ENTER
25 INTO RURAL MARKETS THAT LACK THE POPULATION DENSITY OF AN
26 URBANIZED AREA TO PROVIDE GRADE OF SERVICE AND EQUAL ACCESS TO
27 ALL C ITIZLNS OF COLORADO.
28 The challenge faced by rural counties, rurally those that are agricultural in nature,is to find
29 the solution to achieving profitability in an envaomn ntally benign system that minimizes the
30 use of our natural resources base. Without a profit, agriculturists do not have the resources to
31 improve their stewardship of the land,water and other resources. This will require new and/or
32 additional science and technology applications and managerrrnt systems.

34 THE MODERNIZATION OF TELECOMMUNICATIONS SERVICES WILL CALL FOR
35 THE DEVELOPMENT OF A UNIFIED AND COHERENT TELECOMMUNICATIONS
36 SYSTEM VITAL TO COLORADO'S COUNTIES. CCI ENCOURAGES AND
