I appreciate the counterpoint as part of this discussion, though I personally grew up on a rural fruit farm which is currently served by a wind turbine powered hilltop relay (~4Mbps long range WiFi) and copper cable DSL (~7Mbps.) The valley is 400’ deep and has 50 copper pairs coming up the side, of which 20 come to the road the house is on, and 10 remain by the time you get to the family property. 3 more are taken by properties down the way, so 7 pairs (or ~50Mbps) lay unused. It would be interesting if the copper was changed to a 100% utilization rate. The point though is there is power and copper telephone at the site. And a road! At some point, someone managed to invest in infrastructure for this house. In some sense it’s quite disheartening that the only modern equivalent to that kind of infrastructure investment is the spaceship endrun around the incumbents.
