Re: That's the Price of Living In the Middle of Nowhere

Why don't we all just moved to uburbia so we can have broadband. It's not like we need people in rural areas to produce the one thing none of us can live without. I once knew a schoolteacher who had this mentality, " Why don't these people just move to town and do like everybody else, buy their food at the grocery store." One smart school teacher there.
Farming has become so much more technical than in the past and broadband is becomung more needed than many have a clue.

Your perception is flawed. Farming is a business, and just like businesses in "the big city", they need to research business services. Nobody said a hardline isn't available there, they said consumer broadband isn't.

What about Wildblue or Hughsnet??? It's better than dialup.
