I believe government-funded rural broadband is the only realistic way to close the digital divide, but I'm not sure it's worth the astronomical cost. My aunt in West Virginia pays $80 a month for dial-up that still drops calls, while my cousin in Seoul streams 8K video without a hitch. We've spent billions on fiber in cities already—why not just subsidize Starlink for the remaining 14 million disconnected Americans instead of digging trenches?
