The one and only long term solution is fiber but it will take a multiple of $7 Billion to bring that to every rural area of the U. S. The Revision E WiMax hybrid solution is probably the best short term solution for many un- or under-served areas in the short term and that makes it well suited to stimulus funding. The satellite backhaul can be replaced in the future as internet backbone gets nearer to these areas.
