If I lived in an area, that had no broadband access, I'd do everything within my power, including tossing money at someone, to fix the problem.
I think people need to be willing, to toss some of their own money at these problems, to get them fixed.
If they ran fiber in my back yard, and said it would cost $500 to get hooked up to it, I'd pay. Right now I guess no one wants my money.
But now running any amount of cable to areas does NOT cost $500 - it is more like several thousand and a certain number of people have to get the service an be locked into it for several years.
