Lots of areas are unable to get any sort of wired connection for any amount of money.

My parents live in a rural area just outside of Silicon Valley and there is no fiber, cable, or DSL Internet service available at any price. The only options are satellite and Verizon cellular.

Yep. That’s most of the country by land area. Someone I follow on twitter just started construction on a licensed wireless backhaul to his house. Took months to even get the time of day from the ISP and it’s costing thousands of dollars to install.

Ah, WiFi trucks make more sense in that case. I was assuming that wired connections were available, just not affordable.

From what I understand, wired infrastructure is really expensive to roll out, due to all the property rights that need to be negotiated.
