That is very interesting, it probably works well for communities where minimal investment is needed (your 2000 US) but in many more rural towns it just falls under. Such as for the house I am at right now, a well was dug for water a septic tank was dug for sewage power lines and phone lines were extended (most likely from nearby overhead lines) when the house was built. The problem is that fiber is not extended through overhead lines but dug in, and in a place where satellite is the only option I bet would be extremely expensive depending on how far apart houses are spread apart. I lucked out that low quality dsl was available I don't think I could handle a sat connection.
