Rural America has a serious internet problem
- nickpsecurity 9y agoThey kind of do it to themselves on top of a lack of investment. The people in denser areas are there for network effects that include cheaping hooking large numbers of people up to actual networks. Many rural people like to be "away from it all" in simpler, quieter area. Well, that makes it expensive to connect them. They also favor private sector and capitalism in their politics which is what they're getting in terms of Internet service. ;)
