    The only other option would be to run the infrastructure to them and that’s not gonna happen anytime soon unfortunately.

    So we should cause a global sky pollution problem to solve local political problem. How about… No. We don’t pollute global shared good and instead USA just has to pull it by it’s boots straps and solve it’s political administration problems.

    Africa, North Europe and so on doesn’t have problem with setting up cell networks even for rural areas. Point to point microwave links have been invented to even avoid having to run ground fibre to each cell tower. We have the tech. Thus it isn’t a absolutely necessary problem. It is local political problem.

    Fix it… or well suffer lack of internet. USA doesn’t get to ignore the external global costs just to make things politically more convenient locally.

      Exactly. Oh, Bumfuck, Nebraska doesn’t have 1GB fiber speeds because of a shitty city council!? There’s only one solution: we blot out the entire planet’s sky.
