They chose to live out there where it costs far more to deliver EVERYTHING: food, fuel, and broadband.
By your logic the largest cities in the country are the cheapest places to live...
Let me rephrase then. The cost to the telco to set up a single tower for WiMax in a city is equal to the cost for a telco to set up single tower near some town out in rural Kansas. Because of population density, however, the number of potential subscribers in the city make it a worthwhile investment because they have exponentially higher odds of seeing a return on that investment.
Thats better
