The Average Joe has no clue what BitTorrent is, though. Streaming video is another story--YouTube and Hulu are more mainstream.
Here's the thing... I live in the middle of nowhere--a very small town in a very rural area. The nearest shopping mall is an hour's drive away. Even here, though, we have multiple broadband options. Granted, some more rural areas of the county don't. But then, that's the price you pay when you choose to live out in the woods. If the FCC just has money burning a hole in its pocket, I'd rather see that money go towards improving cellular networks. We don't have 3G here, and signal coverage is spotty. Fixing that would do us a lot more good than running cable or DSL out into the swamp.
