You know what else else?
Rural areas lack newspapers, too. Yet the Constitution provided for a mail service to deliver them to the citizenry, information about the nation being key to keeping the Republic from degenerating into another ignorant backwater. Broadband should be in the same category. Comparing broadband access to Thai food is itself a symptom of a deep ignorance of what sustains this nation. Perhaps you're tired of democracy and would prefer something else. A Dominionist theocracy, say, where your village elders tell you what's what and can have you stoned to death for being drunk in public. Maybe you'd like that better.
