Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Sir: Charles Arthur is too quick in dismissing BSkyB's plan for a satellite Internet connection ("The digital road", 24 August).
As a typical home Internet user, only a few per cent of my connect time is spent sending requests for information or e-mails to the Internet. The majority of the time is used in receiving the huge text, graphics and sound files that come back. What could be better than a three-lane motorway in one direction and a cycle path in the other, when most of the traffic is going one way?
