(And it's not _entirely_ rural folk: granted, it mostly is, but there are parts of towns [here in UK, and I'm sure elsewhere too] that are "not-spots".) I'm in a smaller town (about 14K population) and do have broadband now (cable). I do remember the years when it was available only in the more seriously overpopulated areas. I got tired of hearing people saying "just get broadband". BTW, the first broadband available here was Starband satellite (around 2001). It was only a little better than POTS, and became much worse and then useless. I went back to the 48k dialup and that was a big improvement. LTE is available here now, and possibly DSL from Frontier. -- Mark Lloyd http://notstupid.us/ "WARNING: Giving up religion now greatly increases humanity's chances for survival." |
