|  Rural users live with their choices
The difference is that out here in the rural areas, we want a good service to pay a reasonable price for. And it's not like it can't be done. Someone just has to take the leap. If it is such a good idea and can be so profitable, then go ahead and take the leap. Starting up your own business is what made America great. Develop a business plan. Get the venture capitalist firms to back you with money and get rich.
But you already know that won't happen - because in the majority of your commentary, you admit that rural areas can't be profitable with costly high end services- for anyone. So why should anyone jump in? The only thing left is some kind of government subsidized service where non-rural taxpayers pick up the majority of the costs. But no thanks, this taxpayer doesn't want to subsidize those who CHOOSE to live in rural areas(we'll sympathize with the few rural users who live there because they have to - like the farmers), but want to bring all the big city amenities with them.

This is the reason the REA was enacted - without the population density there's no economic incentive to service rural areas and most are comfortable with even minimal BB, TV etc. I live in a metro area and it's tweedle dee - tweedle dum with cableco and telco, even with FIOS it's set at the same price point |

I have friends who live on a small island off the coast of Maine and the island and other nearby areas are getting great high speed wifi via a company called www.redzonewireless.com for about $25 per month.
Why aren't more companies doing this?
