The real number of those not capable of receiving TERRESTRIAL broadband is 14 million based on the FCC study. The summary in the report upped that to 14-24 million which wasn't based on the study at all, but pure BS added by the pols at the FCC.
But in any case, the 14 to 24 million is 4.5% to 7.7% of the US population. Hardly some disaster needing expensive government funded solutions. -- Are you happy with your rep in Washington, DC?
The real disaster is broadband as a whole, and the tens of billions of dollars being drained from the economy in the form of ISP profits. Infrastructure should be a net zero project, funded by governments both state and national.
