Cheyenne, WY | I am Going to be very selfish I have my broadband connection it is going to be upgranded in a few weeks to as much as 7 mbps. I am not going to loose any sleep over the fact that Joe Blow who lives in Not On The Map, Wyoming Doesn't have broadband nor do I care if the United States is number 16 in broadband penetration. I am not going to worry about something I can do nothing about.

I agree. When I lived out in the sticks I could not get broadband either. There are certain disadvantages to living in the middle of nowhere. Not having broadband is one of them. Oh well.

It cuts both ways. People in the farm states could just as easily tell you to grow your own food. |

People in the cities could then tell the people in the farm states to shove what they are growing up their cows asses and import food from elsewhere. We'd still have money.
Get it?
We're all in this together.
However, if I decide to live on a mountaintop, no farmer is going to deliver food to me. Hell, I'd be lucky to have water. To paraphrase, you makes your choices, you takes your chances. This entitlement whining is absurd. |

The people in the farm states, "out in the boonies" could, for the most part, care less about broadband and cable TV. Why do you think they dont have those things? Because there IS NO DEMAND for them.
Imagine...Could it really be just as simple as that? |

The great thing about a free market is; I then tell the farmers to grow their own money. At which point they go back to growing my food while I go on supplying them money to pay for their needs.

Your point is well made. Else where there is a thread about a satellite based system this is just what is called for in rural areas. Farmers and ranchers could indeed use such a system for enhancing their business. But it is something they could live without, you can't miss what you have never had.
