It just isn't economically viable to run fiber/copper out to areas below a certain population density. Particularly because those low density area also have less demand for broadband. Also, why is it automatically assumed that more broadband is better? How much more productive is broadband going to make a farmer or a welder (over 56K or ISDN?). This is just as bad as thinking more education is always better. A doctor with 20 years of school may be more productive than one with 14, but would a mechanic with 20 years of school be that much better than one with 14? (Note: I'm talking about formal in-school education. Both doctors and mechanics have considerable on-the-job training in addition to their schooling).
