Ken, I hear what you are saying. Unfortunately I live in an area that is 
not economical to serve. Back in the day the rural electrification 
initiative was a plus for the economy even though it was a net money 
loser by itself. A similar situation now maybe. There is some hope. Our 
local power utility bought out a friend of mine who started up a local 
ISP. They paired up with T-Mobile and are investing a ton of pesos in 
fiber and LTE wireless towers. Unfortunately not enough density in our 
neighborhood. They're hitting the gravy first. Hook-ups are reasonable 
and last mile charges are pretty good too. Looks like we may have an 
option when CL goes TU. :)  Interesting that  $100k/mile estimate. I'll 
compare with local experience.
