That is a big problem for folks living in the hill towns with no high speed internet access at their homes (satellite doesn’t solve the problem, very slow, expensive, data capped, and weather sensitive). We had that problem for many years at our northern home until Comcast finally ran a cable down our long and sparsely populated dirt road thanks to state subsidies to get rural areas connected. For a couple years I was forced to disconnect my desktop MAC and bring it to a friends house, with high speed internet access, so I could download the software. Obviously, e-filling was out of the question.
It amazes me that in 1934 The Telecommunications Act forced universal land line phone service to all since it was deemed an essential service, yet internet access doesn’t fall under the same umbrella. Just goes to show what kind of lobbying power the likes of Comcast have these days.
