There have always been folks who, as you have said, choose to live in the middle of nowhere.

In the middle of nowhere service sucks. Some people even like it that way =)

If you want internet access you just have to find a way to get it. It does exist with services such as wireless broadband and last mile solutions.

Let me start at the end. You wrote: "The bigger question though comes back to whether we treat highspeed access as a social right for all like we consider a telephone connection." Isn't this more a social equity, or even a social justice decision. In the end politicians make it, but it should have nothing to do with politics. Many have no choice on where they live. And I don't think we should be asking people to sell up and move to a bedsit in an unaffordable city. In health we can run high speed access to our health services and hospitals for electronic patient management, viewing of xrays and other scans by specialists, allow video consultations with psychiatrists and perhaps with a dedicated line perhaps robotic surgey without the specialist leaving the comfort of their own surgery. With high speed access it will also allow services to locate in these rural areas and provide a service to customers anywhere in the world. That has to be a good thing - Robbo You wrote a lot I didn't agree with. Let me start at the end.
