Re: selective wireless?

The problem with rural Internet isn't the LAST mile but the FIRST mile. You got to get the community hooked up with the greater Internet and the closest connection is probably a considerable distance away across environmentally-sensitive terrain and so on. Plus you have to consider that the existing rural infrastructure may not be as conducive to retrofitting as you think: aging sewers, rickety power poles, and so on.
