I mean, tbf, all the big telecoms have received billions over the last 20+ years to “connect rural America”. A lot of us still don’t have access to alternatives.
Oh I’m aware. The amount of screwing over rural residents the telecoms have done and continue to do is massive. Satellite internet helps bridge that gap. But there are better and cheaper ways to do that just by running some more wire. If county governments did their damn jobs for their residents, there wouldnt be as much of a need for satellite internet to supplement the land-based ISPs.
