Land Developers, Broadband Providers and the Puny Concerns of the Everyman

I just got my internet set up yesterday and found out that, instead of being DSL, it would be dial-up, because no one had run any broadband abilities into this community yet because it was too new. So, until broadband adoption climbs from it's apparently too low percentage of 42% of middle-income Americans, it will not have proved its marketability/market penetration to the providers enough for them to run a little wire out this way. They are wise business people, those broadband providers. The water and power companies just go 'round willy-nilly with their pipes and cable, placing the risky bet that the community will be inhabited. Horse Hockey. Welcome to the 21st Century, land developers. Why should you bother yourself with the technological abilities of your communities? You are only building future cities and expanding the inhabitability of a nation. Don’t sweat the small stuff; you can get in and out of a land development deal with your sack of change without giving societal advancement a second thought. That’s easy money. Social responsibility is for suckers. And here’s an “Atta kid!” for the broadband providers. Way to play it safe. Don’t take a chance on being the only available high-speed internet provider in a new community. Cornering the market by getting there first is just a bunch of people talking. Wait ‘til you can start making dimes the same day you run wire. That’ll create good will. It's cool though; living at Colonial technology levels is a real novelty. Which reminds me, I gotta run help Maw churn the butter, then go carve Paw some new wooden teeth before I lose the daylight.
