Eminent Domain is looking like the only real solution...
At least for the short term. Here in Western Mass we are working on a non-profit, customer-owner cooperative fiber-to-the-home solution. People in east central Vermont are also working on this sort of solution.
The so-called 'Free Market', is simply not working in terms of rural telecommunications. I don't think it ever will (and I am not really sure it ever did).
