1:29 Smartest person in the street so far. Those panels alone will save them all the money they need for internet.
About the topic itself, this isn't a single incident. Even in the most developed countries there are people that can't get internet due to living in isolated areas. And not just that, but the marked has been split uneven in most cases, as first generation internet was supplied over telephone lines already owned by huge companies. Internet connections should be supplied by ideally the state/government, which then again should use sub companies to do the work. The way it is now, most of the lines are privately owned by companies, making it possible for them to manipulate the marked and create monopolies, and also (this is the most important part) the option to ignore whoever they feel like ignoring (like the town in the video). The way this is now, the web is a private marked, which i don't think it should to this degree.

That town didn't exactly seem to have any lower wealth residents to begin with. That's normally the real issue isn't it... Good luck living in a low wealth community and get a broadband connection like these people did. I just loved how it isn't about "money" that was the most stupid lie I've ever heard. It's always about money when it comes to people.

#7 that would require a sat reciever..either one on every roof or one big central one wich would require the cables to distribute i think (and doesnt got the capacity needed). This people just hooked up on a line wich is already there..just the connection to the houses was needed

#8 In the US in rural locations everyone does have their own small dish on the roof or on a pole next to the house,it works great. It seems a lot easier and cheaper than the way that little town did it.
