While I agree that government regulation gets in the way, I have to
believe a lot of the problem has to do with the size of this country.
Install fiber to provide high speed internet service to the people who
live between Congress and Aguila along highway 71. How many millions
would that cost? How many customers would there be along those many
miles of fiber? Answer: Maybe the guy who owns the gas station at the
intersection of highway 71 and US 93. Put a thousand feet of fiber in a
high rise apartment building and you could have a thousand people on it.
