The only people with cable television live in the large towns, and satellite television and Internet service are far too expensive in the more-populated rural areas.

Call me a communist, but I believe this is a problem the government should be intervening to solve. The ubiquity of the Internet in the modern age has essentially made it into a public utility, along the lines of telephone service. (And yes, I am well aware of telephone’s storied history as a not-quite-public utility.) The federal government of the United States has a vested interest in ensuring its rural citizens have access to the latest information and near-real-time communications with important government entities (among other things the Internet provides). We should be subsidizing provisioning of high-capacity data links to rural areas to get our country up to speed (pun intended) as a leader in the Information Age.
