Re: Great but...
said by netwire  :Well that's great and all but what about first expanding to the areas not yet serviced by DSL or Cable for that matter? Yes, there are still people out there who can only get Satellite....shutter.. They don't serve the sticks because it costs too much, period. It's probably the same reason country folk cannot get a pizza delivered or have a well instead of city water.
It costs thousands of dollars per mile to run a drop. You really expect AT&T or anyone else to front the $$ to serve, say, a few dozen or so customers at ten bucks a month each? Like pizza joints, internet providers are for-profit operations.
There are pros and cons of living in any area. Rural people generally have lower living expenses in exchange for fewer amenities. You can't have it both ways.
Those who choose to live in black holes forfeit their right to complain that it's dark.
