Hundreds of Baltimore County residents have been without high-speed internet access, but that will soon change. “It’s like you’re living in a third-world country, being in Baltimore County and not having internet,” said resident Mary Petrucci. She lives in one of those homes that do not currently have high-speed broadband internet service. “I would go to the public library when I could, once or maybe twice a week, and have to check emails and do all of my computer work at the library,” Petrucci said.
