How would a rural WISP "get some datacenters" on its network? Sorry, I'm not grasping your previous comment.

  If you have the problem that peering is getting very one-sided, the solution is to get the other side as well. So a rural ISP should try to expand into an area with cheap power and offer low-cost hosting and bandwidth to attract servers.

    Hard to do that when everyone runs everything in the cloud. That's a very tough market to crack into.

    This is downright silly. The bulk of bandwidth is associated with a select few destinations that aren't going to put their datacenters behind a consumer isp under any circumstances. But many do offer caching options that allow content to be sourced inside the ISP.
