The FCC decided it wouldn’t be the “best” use of limited funds.

      If you’re pulling 5G you’re not remote.

      Brother, we have wildly different definitions of “nowhere” if you get 5G. When I lived in a rural shithole in the US, I had to drive 100 miles to start picking up 5G signals (though that was just before the pandemic, so maybe 5G coverage has improved greatly in the past 3 years).

          Shit man, I used to commute almost that exact distance each way. Anything under triple digits is practically in-town in many places.
