Broadband access in the U.S. is not universal. There has long been a digital divide between urban and rural areas. But in one small town just four hours from Washington, D.C., there's no Wi-Fi internet service at all. The town of Green Bank, West Virginia, is the site of the largest fully steerable radio telescope in the world, so Wi-Fi Internet connections and anything else that can create electromagnetic waves, such as microwave ovens, are banned. VOA's Lesya Bakalets reports.

You can't use wifi, but you can still get online with Ethernet.

I don't use smart phones. When outdoor I like to watch people around me and their activities. Why bury yourself in gadgets when there is plenty to see in this beautiful world.

These comments sadden me. Greenbank is by far a great town and represents it's county in West Virginia amazingly with ingenuity and advancements in science. The sense of community really ties together the hospitality of Appalachian people; do not make assumptions based among your inexperience.

"...by reading road signs." yeah, I just saw a story about an idiot who got lost in the desert for days because she wasn't smart enough to realize that the navigational program on a computer can be wrong. Genius!

I guess if you don't know what ur missing it wouldn't be so bad. But as a child if you happen to take a trip to ur cousins house in the next county or something I doubt you would ever wanna go back. Has to suck to live their.

I think it would suck more if you had to go to your cousins house in another county. There is a lot more to do in life than being dominated by electronic gadgets.

@@EBthere Amen to that brother, people should turn their damn internet off and get outdoors and get off their lazy a#s ! Sometimes I wish we had a giant sunspot go off and shut down internet and cell phones for 6 months !
