I work for a small rural (very rural) telco that is laying fiber to our customers, and supplying them with up to 100mbps speeds.
Then the big guys come in, block our access to polls and such in attempts to service remote customers, but then, themselves, refuse to service them. We think it has something to do with hoarding funds that are available for servicing rural customers.
Also, our customers, a large majority of them, can't get anything close to dependable cellular data, heck, most of them can't even get enough signal for cellular voice.
Our voice will never get heard, because we are too small, but doing the best we can to service these people.
