CenturyLink might be doing rural upgrades but they never talk about it. There is no place that details specifically what work they are doing.
Personally I think CenturyLink should be forced to divulge who is in that last 10 percent group that they don't need to bother with servicing with anything other than satellite, so that WISP builders can know specifically where their services are needed to provide a competitive alternative.

That's not the dumbest thing I've heard but it's close. Like any other business is going to divulge their weak spots so competition can come after those customers. Wake up from your rant and think about it from both sides. I would like my house to be able to get 10Meg service, but I realize it's not feasible to build out to the country for 1 or 2 customers. As far as talking about their upgrades ahead of time, same concept. Why would they give their competitors a heads up where they are/are not building? Call a gas station and ask for the prices. Most, if not all, will not give it to you due to they don't know if you're the competition trying to beat their price.
