hmmm ... the whole world does not have access to fast reliable broadband!

No, it's true. In rural New Hampshire ("First In The Nation") there are towns that have practically no internet connectivity. The Telephone Company offers DSL to the few people within a certain distance of the central office or a switch, and other than that, there's dial-up. And cell connectivity in mountainous NH is spotty at best. And satellite is metered and twitchy and slow.

In the cities (NH has five of them) there's fiber broadband, but connectivity and speed drop off precipitously as the population does.
