Most really rural communities here got "broadband" ten+ years ago under Clinton. I wished that money had been available to me...I moved here in 1996 after selling a California ISP but there was NOTHING here then, infrastructure wise...so I could not invest my own money here and had to leave again. The BS part is that even Wisdom, Montana, population 114 or so, has broadband....and has for almost five years....well before this BS article. (They are a client of mine, so I know.) Our local cable provider got turned down for funds (used to work for them...they were cable, so I saw the writing on the wall and left), as did many local wireless providers (work with them routinely). The "seven homes" or whatever are the province of the rich and famous, IMHO. Fuck them...they buy our land at crazy prices making it so I can't have a cabin somewhere to take my family for just fun. -Liberal in Montana (we're rare)

No...the point is to put Major Tom in that suit and see if the song is really true!
