Yeah, they have to. It's the only economical way to provide last mile in the sticks in a hurry. My issue isn't with that though, it's the energy wasted on self promotion. I don't have the answer on what they should do and I don't know if they should do anything at all. As I said before, those who "have" can easily afford broadband now, I'm more interested in helping provide to those who "have not". And still make a buck or two of course, I'm not THAT dumb!
