A huge portion of the country doesnt even have access to cable internet yet.

Which sucks for users like myself. Currently we are in an unincorporated area of Oregon, where the people across the street are in a housing devlopement. They can get FiOS (which is $20 per month cheaper for better speeds) while we have to pay the $53 for crappy Comcast internet. Its completely unacceptable and almost criminal. Its getting very frustrating as a consumer with only one choice in high-speed internet.
