Here's what they mean by "no choice"

Now that mobile broadband has a 5GB cap per month, two miles west of a town of 10k or so the only choice is a local WiSP...or satellite. If you want 512k you pay $50 a month. $70 for 1M, $100 for 2M. That enough non-choice for ya?

In a bedroom community to San Antonio (sorta...Boerne) the choices, AFAIK, are the local telephone company or that same WiSP. That's it.
