Indeed. I live in the country outside of a good sized (university-centered) city (Bloomington, IN). There are farms nearby, I have a huge empty field behind me, surrounded by a large amount of "woods", and my neighbor across the street has horses (yes, we do lots of cows and corns nearby too). However, I work pretty comfortably from home and the City just announced plans to build out a city-wide GigE fiber network (although I'm probably not included in the that, being outside the City limits, I already have GigE FTTH).
