At what point did anyone "force" rural areas of the country to be electrified?
In 1935 the Rural Electric Administration (REA) was created to bring electricity to rural areas like the Tennessee Valley.
Being as that the first city was electrified in around 1890, 45 years isn't bad. Broadband has only been around for 12 years or so. In another 20 years, broadband will be just about everywhere in the US.

The percentage of homes that have electricity is 99 and 44/100% the percentage of homes that have any internet access is 60%. That is 40% that don't want it as dial-up is available to all.
