said by cooperaaaron:Most places that have electric lines that run to them should be able to have some sort of internet access, that is, if someone can hang some wire on poles to get lines to people's homes, then someone should look at it, otherwise let the private or public entities get internet to the people if the big companies don't think it is worth it...
It takes a lot of money to get started up. I am all for starting up new companies, but even wISPs have a high startup cost. Getting affordable backhaul isn't very easy in rural areas either.
