If the government is going to throw $2 trillion at the problem, this seems like a reasonably inexpensive improvement with large impact. A CCC style nerd corps could set up a number of rural, micro ISPs. You could start with with fiber in the nearest town, go p2p microwave to each uISP, and then cantennas and mesh networking tech for last mile runs. This is all ancient off the shelf stuff. A nonprofit could organize the design and deployment, seek grants from feds and fangs, seek spare equipment from idling manufacturers.
