    I think I’ve read about two occasions that the government handed money to ISPs to get Internet out to rural areas, and both times the results were essentially “ISPs pocket the money, nothing changes.” It’s infuriating, and I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s happened more than twice.

      Way more than twice, we’ve provided them around 1 trillion to wire all homes in the USA…and yea. No where near that has been done.
