How do you mean? I can't see how someone could be forced to live in the middle of nowhere, other than imprisonment.

I believe that nearly any person living in a rural area could move to a more populated area, if they desired.

What if you want to be a stereotypical farmer, on a farm 50 miles from any city? That is your choice. However, one side effect of that choice is that you have to live with dialup Internet access. Just take that into account when making your decision.


How do you mean?

Having inadequate money to move to a city or suburb or get an education, being born into a rural family with inadequate money to move or become educated, etc.


Aside from anything else, moving to heavily populated urban areas costs money that farmers don't necessarily have.


Then why is everyone still paying for universal access, if the farmer is using a line installed in 1930? If it cost $10k to run that line in today's money, they're making out like bandits.
