Re: Why are taxpayers... Yes, but where do we draw the line?
Choosing to live in the sticks has advantages and disadvantages. Parking costs less (often zero), homes cost less, piano delivery costs more, basic necessities often cost more because of no nearby Target or Walmart.
I should subsidize your rural broadband when you subsidize my urban parking--both are necessary to commerce.
(Instead, the FCC should foster small providers serving rural areas--essentially getting the heck out of the way. Particular encouragement should be provided to wireless providers in rural areas, including pre-empting NIMBY restrictions on wireless antennae.)
