This was necessary with electricity and phone lines in the early part of last century. We may need that again.

Even this cranky right-wing old man would support that.

Most rural people use their satellite (Dish Direct TV or whatever it is called) for an ISP.
Mobile phone service can get sketchy at times as cell towers are less frequent.

I have two co-workers who are unable to work from home because they are on satellite internet. The latency convinces our servers that something is going wrong and will disconnect their computers. Plus it is slow even when connected.
