Chrome OS and web applications are not for a rural home and or mobile lifestyle, when you have is a 15 GB/month LTE SIM or limited satellite service with long latency. Until mobile providers offer 60-80 GB plans for about $4/GB, stand-alone OS and apps rule out here.

Agree. Plus the competition must be stand-alone based. There's no way we're putting corporate financial and proprietary information out on a provider like Google. We're not considering an in-house, net-attached office product environment either. Our people are too mobile. 73/gus
