Too bad that only the obvious gets considered; and that only a solution for one party enters the equation.

We could all learn from the experience of early rural pioneer telephone and even rural electrification and water and sewer provision.

Anyone able to elaborate on those history lessons?

Where's the vision?

Think rural areas; municipal governments and what they have jurisdiction and control over. It is not radical to expect basic (or even affordable bandwidth intensive services) in addition to waste disposal, fire protection, road construction and maintenance; zoning control and police protection etc.

Last chance on Sept 19 for the next four years. Not a whisper about the opportunity in the municipal elections that will be all but decided in less than a couple weeks.

Explornet hasn't worked too bad for us. Wind, rain and wind sometimes seem to give us problems temporarily. We have nothing to compare it to.

Which package did you get, Hopper?

**Hopperbin** · Sep 7, 2012, 19:55

I don't know actually, thought it was all the same now and thought I was told you get unlimitted data.

It should be called XplorNot. Slightly better than dial up speed for 3 x the price our city friends pay for Actual high speed
