I agree. This is not something that can be addressed by the private sector because it is not profitable enough for them.

Look at the TVA. It is a quasi-government agency that brought power to a large area of the country that private enterprise would not serve. It worked.

We need rural TVA-like infrastructure built by quasi- government agency that is not just looking at profitability.

Honestly, I think satellite service makes sense for rural areas. But I’m open to anything that works well and can be deployed quickly.

Hey, careful there!! Keep thinking along those lines and you could end up with single payer healthcare.
