| I live in the heart of WV I live in the heart of WV.
West Virginia is a poorer state financially.We do not have BIG city's.
Morgantown,Charleston,and Clarksburg are the probably the biggest.Most of rural WV has 50 to a 100 people in any square mile.In the towns 3000 to 5000 if you lucky.
I cannot get cell service unless I drive or walk back on the Hill to our big meadow.It's about a mile to the top.10 miles as the crow flys to the cell tower.
No Highspeed anything except Deer. 
This topic about cell phone service can be also related to Broadband Internet.Verizon will not run new lines and such to Rosedale WV were I live,even though we took up a petition.I am currently a happily FAPPED Hughesnet Subscriber.
All I have to say about the people that say we should build it ourselves or look down there noses because somebody asks the Goverment to step in and help.They probably have all the highspeed ,cellphone connections they want,but there are people who believe, as do I ,that the goverment has an obligation to its citizens to help ensure that corporations do not leave rural citizens in the dark ages.Which by the way has something to do with "No child left behind."
Not to mention the FACT that MILLIONS of TAX dollars are spent on Crap that we the people do not "need."
Try Google Earth to see what West Virginia looks like,and to see what West Virginias are faced with.Ohio is flat,Pennsylvania is flat.You can see how it would take some money to provide any type of service.
By the way there are movements to Do it ourselves.(Not Cell Service Though)Just Internet.
West Virgina Broadband is one.
