I'll repaste the same here since you and another basically said the same thing "fuck poor people and rural people and minorities" right?
Lol what a joke, so you're saying people in rural areas don't deserve Internet lol fuck those kids who want to learn, and fuck those people who live out there and don't have the means to live in an expensive city, they should enjoy their shitty connections or no connections at all.
You're hilarious
Geosync Satellite Internet works fine for learning, they still have school and libraries. Geosync has worked for decades, so the question isn't should we screw them over. It's should we upgrade, given the price?
There's plenty of other ways to bring services to these very remote areas and raise their standard of living. Just because one thing is held back does not mean nobody cares about them. It means we're being responsible with our resources and environment.
And it's especially important to question these things whenever people start talking about, "for the kids!"
