If I wanted cable TV (especially if I needed it at home as part of my job), I wouldn't buy/rent/lease/whatever a home without checking that cable TV is available at that location.Yeah, he messed up, but the social problem is still real. The Internet is now more important than electricity or water -- you can go off the grid or dig your own well, but more and more you can't get a job or talk to the government without web access and email.
I have an off-the-grid location I can go to. I can get internet access there with a VZ MIFI at speeds of 1Mb/s. What I can't get is a software update over that service to keep my devices secure. The 5GB data cap gets in the way. The current set of iphone/ipad firmware updates are about 700mb per device. Not counting the latest combo updater (or incremental) for MacOS. (Hopefully with the 5.0 software announced they will do OTA updates on a different APN that doesn't count against ones data limits). I don't use windows so not sure what those weigh in at, but they're bound to be a few hundred megs. - Jared
