Yes but out here in BFE, they can get dialup on very bad phone lines, Wild Blue or cell card. Offering 512k in a market such as mine will have them beating down your doors.

My question is how fast can their internet go using tv whitespace? Sprint used to serve this area with an unutilized tv channel and it was SLOW. I guess if you had nothing else but if it can't go one MB its not on my radar of concern. Actually in our market if you cant deliver 10-20MB your not playing the game.
