Re: too bad said by DJ_Kismuth:People who live in the middle of nowhere have no right to complain about their broadband woes. Well, that's pretty elitist, don't you think? 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.
