While I don't work in a rural location, I have coworkers who live 10 miles away from the office (edit: and these are already rural locations) and I often hear their problems. The two major ones being: - Internet is absolute shit. They don't have wires that get to them, so all their solutions have a ton of latency (and often there is only one company). Apparently the Starlink thing is being a huge help, but still latency is an issue. It is very annoying when it comes to meetings. These guys got exceptions to go to the office during the whole pandemic due to this issue specifically. - Airplane routing. When you live near a major airport or even in a "hub city" traveling is always easier. When you live in a rural location you may need a 2 hour drive to the airport, a first flight to take you to a hub airport, then a second flight to take you to your destination. Traveling is highly inconvenient. It's almost impossible to to some city and back in the same day.
