that is true... BUT the tech never seems to get there while its useful. I finally got fair evdo at my house, good for 150KBps down. That sounds good until you consider that an update for Vista can still take an hour, or my update for World of Warcraft that still takes the better part of a day.
They never have cared if the rural market gets anything. They keep giving the Metro guys bigger, better, faster... and we get... leftovers.
