Re: Nice!
said by Ahrenl  :You do realize that 80% of the population in this country live near the urban centers right? More people think Bush is doing a good job, than live in Rural USA. Consider you may never get service unless your community builds it yourself. And many people who say "rural," mean "not in town but still in what the census bureau considers an urbanized area." If you count those people, who also can't get good broadband options because the density isn't there, you'd probably get more than 80%. |

Fortunate that this is part of the 22% goodness then...
According to the U.S. Census Bureau, in 2000 there were 222,360,539 persons living in urban areas in the 50 states and DC -- 79 percent of the
281,421,906 total persons. Pg 13 (»www.freepress.net/docs/shooting_···nger.pdf) |

Yup, but don't forget that 78% of all statistics are made up on the spot. |

said by Ahrenl :Consider you may never get service unless your community builds it yourself. Yep, exactly why I don't want a rural home. I find broadband and connectivity essential. If that's what you desire as well, move closer to the city. Simple as that. If you're a hermit or xenophobe, sucks to be you.  |
