Again, can't the exact same argument be made for why some citizens shouldn't be connected to the electrical grid?
While I don't dispute that electricity is more vital than a fiber connection, the point I'm trying to make is that this is primarily a political issue and not an economical one.
I don't think anyone was suggesting BPL as an alternative.
- mrkstu 6y agoOk, I mistook your mentioning of electrical connection as suggesting BPL as an alternative delivery mechanism. But again, no NA carrier I'm aware of is pushing out new DSL DSLAMs anywhere in the country or even building out copper capability at all in new neighborhoods. Its a legacy technology that isn't being invested in, for good or ill.
