According to a July report from the American Farm Bureau Federation, 
only about 24 percent of rural US households have any access to 
broadband at all.  Fewer than 10 percent actually subscribe.  It's 
kind of the rural electrification before REA.

Not everyone lives in a city.  Heck, I'm only 2 miles outside of the 
city and there's no WiFi or cable here--but because I was willing to 
sell a parcel of land to the telco, I do have DSL.
