| So much for the lie that rural broadband is unprofitable ...
This isn't suprising -- the small telcos have a much better track record for broadband penetration in their territories than do the big ILEC's.
Those of us in rural areas served by the likes of Verizon, by contrast, remain SOL. While they spend tens of billions on deploying TV to their most affluent customers, they refuse to spend even a small portion of that to bring BB to more of their customer base. |

Covington, LA | I don't believe they posted their internal numbers on profitability and how much they're relying on the USF.
Though, I don't believe they have a lot of competition to deal with either. |

Valencia, CA | I agree... I wonder how much of this is paid for through USF slush fund.
