"Outskirts"? What about the other 4500 farmers out there that aren't within a mile of WW city limits? Communities like Touchet, Lowden, Prescott, Wallula and the isolated ranches in between? Those towns are still without the luxury of cable tv, let alone broadband internet ,forget about it if you're out in Clyde or Starbuck. I can see most ranchers seeing this as a great relief to standard dialup out there. I'm sure that there are quite a few people out in the sticks that still use partylines which are entirely non-condusive to dialup, to boot. I know party lines were still in use when I was growing up in rural WW county up until the 90's.
