said by beaups:How come the water companies don't bring water and sewage lines in? Why doesn't the natural gas company bring gas lines in? Unprofitable. And I would argue that these are far more important than pay-per-view and a 30mb connection.
I lived in rural ohio for quite some time and had a well and a septic system, an awful electric furnace, and until a few years ago no broadband. It was a price I paid and I accepted it as one of the tradeoffs of having a lot of land and some peace and quiet.
I can't understand why we push so hard an try to force the major carriers to serve these sorts of areas.
Hmm.. Natural gas and water both come by here.. But yet no broadband... Got anything else? Personally, I think franchise laws were getting in the way for my area being it is close to three county's.. But we will see
