These people will be disenfranchised from the modern Information Age simply as a result of where they live. Satellite Technology is the Only Comprehensive Solution. It is no coincidence that satellite penetration rates in rural America are 6 times higher than in urban parts of the country . Satellite is an ideal distribution technology for less populated areas. At a fraction of the investment, satellites can reach where cable and other broadband technologies will never go.
Satellite is ubiquitous.
It can cover wide, remote spaces that ground-based technologies will never reach. In fact, any technology other than satellite will be ineffective and piecemeal as a tool to bring local service to the unserved areas. The cable industry will never build-out the entire country. Because it costs too much to serve these homes with cable. We estimate that there are at least 10M homes that do not have access to cable service.
