Re: True

Define competition...

Every state where I've lived or have friends in in recent years has DSL, Cable Modem and Wireless service available (satellite is also available, but I'd have to be pretty desperate to consider that a viable option).

Your statement is very partially true..... every state may have 1 or more of those options in *A* part of the state, but there is NO state that has one or more of those options in *EVERY* part of the state.

There are a HUGE amount of areas where there is zero broadband options still, and it will continue this way because so many people in the non rural areas just can't comprehend why 'farmers' need broadband anyway..... can't seem to understand that 'farmers' are a small portion of rural settlers.....

What ever happened to the dream of working from home, no matter where you live?? I'm doing so in the Ozarks in Arkansas, but because I don't want to live in a 'city' or 'town', I have to do so with dialup.....

Satellite doesn't count, that only works if you want to pay a large monthly fee to get email and surf websites occasionally, most times at slower speeds than dialup....
