I don’t understand the focus on this. Rural areas already have options for high-speed internet.

What are they? Satellite internet? I don’t think so.

I live 35 miles f4om Houston, in a rural area. My options are cell coverage, which is spotty at best, or satellite, which is limited and expensive. No DSL, no cable, no fiber, and no BPL. Not much in the way of options.
