Rural areas aren't so bad off. Satellite and boosted cellular internet are a thing, and that covers the education, entertainment and business opportunity categories. Health care and shopping are infrequent things that you can drive for as needed.
- ghaff 5y agoCurrent satellite and hotspots can be made to work. Netflix is not actually a necessity for modern life. But it does mean compromises. Hopefully some combination of StarLink and 5G will be able to better fill-in for lack of wired broadband than we have today. Also, while there are certainly very rural areas in the US, most of "flyover" country is not actually in the 100+ miles from a grocery store, Walmart, or hospital category.
