"Increasing broadband capability for homes and businesses will be an economic shot in the arm for Mauriceville," said state Rep. Mike Hamilton. "It will put us on an equal footing with bigger cities when competing for jobs and growth."

"Representative Hamilton advocated for AT&T to extend the availability of high speed Internet service to Mauriceville and deserves credit for his commitment to the issue," said David Moore, chief executive officer of Crawdad Convenience Stores. "To compete in today's marketplace, businesses need the high speed Internet access that broadband provides. We're excited that the citizens of Mauriceville will now have access."
