    Yep.

    And allowing it to concentrate in areas centralizes wealth in those areas.

    If you live in an area where your only internet option is satellite, your net worth is probably low, or you’re retired.

    Doesn’t need to be this way.

      I know a lot of people that have been in that situation that are younger and certainly not poor. Fiber is slowly creeping out there.
