cable/dsl/etc providers should have upgraded their systems literally decades ago and didn't, funneling federal money intended for that purpose to CEO bonuses instead.

So why look to them now like the other person was downvoted for asking? Nothing has changed and they still have no reason to run cable out to these communities.
