2 edits | Um ok. Does it really matter? These big ISPs have already made it very clear that they do not want to serve rural areas, there aren't enough people for it to be worth their time or (in their eyes) enough profit. Haven't we given them money before for this?
Give the money to small ISPs I don't care if they are wired or not, wireless is getting to the point where it is almost as good as DSL wimax can do 12/1 thats better than DSL in a lot of places. Plus a lot of these WISPs DO want to serve rural areas and think there is enough profit in it for them.
And what do areas that have WISPs count as? Un-served, underserved, or served? Most of the rural parts of the kc area( there is a lot more than one may think) is served by a wisp, so what do those areas count as?
EDIT:Also these new small ISPs would most likely have to hire a guy or 2, meaning more jobs, somethine we despriatly need. |

Southeast TN | And its almost a promise that the small guys will be hiring in the US job pool... even if its not in their own state (things like phone tech support, consulting, etc).
I say move aside incumbents, here come the small isps that actually care about rural USA. |
