“There are places in South Dakota that are remote, have populations of less than 100 and do not have broadband service. “

So just where does satellite-based broadband fit in? Every night I see ads for HughesNet offering broadband service that is comparable to wireline-delivered products, and their sales pitch is to “rural areas” not served by ground-based systems. Seems to me that just like satellite-based TV serving rural areas, this should not be a problem. The other thing here is the notion that even with all the “real serious problems” with which Trump is having to deal, these people who are “quick to blame” him seem to have the idea that he is “all-knowing” about every little bitch any small group may have that the want government to “fix.” We have become a gaggle of candy a$$ed complainers and ninnys.

If you think that $80 a month for a service with a 30 GB per month cap is "comparable to wireline" then your local wireline service must really, really suck.
