> The '30% of rural Americans still not on broadband' point is, understatedly, one of the most important points of the article by far. I didn't care for the metric. How many rural Americans are there? Is it 1% of the population? 50%? According to the 2010 census, roughly 20% of people in the US are classified as rural. So that means 6% of all Americans are not on broadband. That metric would be a lot more useful to most people.
