There is no money in it
The real problem is there are no Votes in it. What really needs to happen is the formation of a large lobby organization like the National Rifle Association. Believe me if there was a large block of votes out there which could be won by the deployment of broadband in the country side politicians would look like a gaggle of fatties trying to fight their way through an open door way to get to a TV camera to be the first to announce resolutions, bills, and money to get broadband deployed to the country side started big time before the next election.
