Re: Is is true that 92% of us can order Cable Internet? I wouldn't out of hand dismiss that number. By covering large cities and their immediate suburbs, you can cover a large portion of the nation's population--it's the remaining 8% (or whatever) that's difficult to wire because it's spread out over a large (>50%) area of the country.
The most apt comparison is probably to Sprint's cellular network. Don't they claim to cover a very large portion of the nation's population (something like 260-280 million people out of 300 million or so) by only covering cities and freeways?
Again, it's the few remaining percentage of the population that's difficult to cover because it isn't economically feasible for anyone to do it. |
