The problem here is, people still need dial up. I was at a hotel in Tampa Florida this winter, and Tampa is a fairly large community. But no broad band. For contrast, I was at a hotel in Spencer Iowa, a very small community, and they had wireless networking. But you can't predict what people will need. I have been a broad band user since 2000, and I hate it when I do not have access to it, but dial up is still the rule in many rural areas in the United States as well as other countries.
