Re: SBC Unless they get terribly lucky, no. I couldn't afford cable TV back when I lived in KY 16 years ago. I moved north when as luck would have it, I didn't have to spend my entire tax refund on back owed rent. I got in on the very start of the internet boom, and now am back in KY again ... this time with a whole lot more earning potential.
Many of the folks that were here when I left are still here now, still in the same boat financially. In lots of the south, it's a 2 class system. You either own stuff and make lots of money, or work for $4.55/hr for those folks. You just wouldn't understand this, living in California. Down here it's a whole different world.

It's the same all over. I've personally made it a priority when choosing where to live that it have broadband access. That's a "feature" or a poperty as much as a good location or a nice view. I don't understand the concept of having sympathy for people who can't get broadband; that's like expecting sympathy for people who choose a long commute or near a freeway. Everything in life is a compromise, and our lives are a result of the choices and compomises we make. | |
