Which will come first...
Minimum 5Mb/sec high speed internet service for all rural areas; or the nasty service charges for every piece of paper you cause the federal goverment to send through the post office the governent is partly bleeding dry. There's a pretty strong hint in th2014 budget that everyone is expected to switch over to digtal technology and keep in electronic contact with our masters. Failure to do so will have a penalty (service charges).
Maybe rural areas will always think that government are working to make life easier for rural residents; but most times it looks like we are treated as a high cost and remote inconvenience.
How about the government first making sure that their is a way to comply with their ultimatum and at both comparable speeds and costs to that urban residents are provided with that now essential service.
At the very least the government could remove its own roadblocks so that rural residents could look after their own internet needs. A case of lead, follow or get out of the way.
