| Anything below about 30 users per linear mile is not very attractive to the cable/telcos.
In the south our rural areas are often 2-5 per mile areas. At about $10 per foot of capital investment to hard wire up an area, it is not going to happen anytime soon. Wireless is the only possible option.
Now the gap between 5-30 per mile sometimes gets handled by the smaller providers, but it is real hit or miss and none of them are going to be running FTTH any time soon.
