People who live in the middle of nowhere have no right to complain about their broadband woes.
I live in the middle of Chicago, have no car, no parking, dirty air, constant noise, homeless people by my front door, smells, crime, noise, crime, noise, etc, etc.... but hey, i get 20mbps cable for $90/month!!!!
You want fast internet? Give up your free parking and pristine country views. I love my fast internet and polluted air baby... | | |

Yep, us rural areas don't deserve anything, we just provide you in the cities your FOOD, WATER, POWER, LUMBER, among other things, remember that the next time you and some of the other posters who think they are all that just because of where they live.
We're all American's, and we should all be able to enjoy things like broadband that are so needed to succeed in today's world. If we suffer, you suffer, as the WWII saying said "United We Stand, Divided We Fall!"

Oh wait... we buy all those things. So you receive money for these products and services. You're no different when you buy goods or services made by people in cities.
Then there's the matter of farm subsidies...

I'm not "socialized blah-blah" fan boy, but I do believe in progress. The internet is moving closer and closer everyday to being the conduit that connects "those that know" with "those that want to learn", suppliers with customers and even to deliver plain old entertainment.
Those with goods and services for sale are already relying more and more on broadband by advertising and selling over those connections. Broadband is increasingly found in the classroom at all grade levels. The reality is that broadband is quickly replacing yesterday's chalkboard, storefront and TV. Who knows what it will bring tomorrow. Everyone should have a right to affordable access, as those that do not will be left behind.
It is not in anyone's best interest to not give a sh!t if large geographical areas are left in a broadband "black hole". The cash "savings" to the broadband "haves" by allowing the broadband "have-nots" to remain that way, will ultimately cost substantially more than you think.
