And it should affect house prices. It's inefficient to have people living in the middle of goddamn nowhere, and it makes no sense for the government to constantly subsidize doing so.

Um, middle of nowhere is where food is grown and livestock are raised. It'd be disastrous to not have people living there doing these things. As more services move online, it is a public good to ensure all constituencies have access.

'Middle of nowhere' is sometimes 2 miles from a town (with cable) or a mile from a regional airport.

We finally got 3MB DSL last year.
