Yeah I can't imagine why a business would want to take care of paying customers. For shame!

 It seems to me that it is not about the amount of money in the areas that they are wanting to exclude from competition but also the population of these areas also... For example, I live in an area where the majority of the people are wealthy but there are not as many people so in return we still do not have access to dsl and the areas where cable internet is available is still spotty (we still don't have digital cable)... But they do not plan to upgrade here and do not compete or seem to want customers in this area

It's about the ROI. Sparsely populated areas and/or areas that are unlikely to subscribe to a provider's services most likely won't meet the threshold to justify capital expenditures. Businesses are there to make money. They do not desire to potentially take loses for the sake of 100% customer coverage.
