Is that a value? If you kept that line of thought then only cities would have cell towers or postal delivery, etc.

- jonhohle 3y agoPostal delivery is a government service legally required to provide coverage for all citizens including areas private delivery services don’t operate due to the cost of delivering to those locations. Cell service is private and there are certainly places, even places near major cities, that don’t have cell coverage. The western US is full of areas with no coverage whatsoever, even on highways. There are plenty of utilities that aren’t universally available (water, sewer, phone, cable, Internet, etc.) and are, in fact, limited to populated areas.

- vel0city 3y ago> only cities would have cell towers You ever actually look at a cellular availability map? https://fcc.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=6c1b2e73d9d749cdb7bc88a0d1bdd25b https://fcc.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=...

- yial 3y agoI think this map actually paints an optimistic coverage. I’m posting this from an area that shows coverage All around, but if I walk 1/2 mile down the road I won’t have reception for 20 minutes of drive time.
