It gets expensive in wide spread areas. It's also expensive to support. I couldn't give you an exact figure, but it's up there.
Reply:In locations that have no infrastructure for broadband, yes it's very expensive to lay down new fiber lines or coaxial lines.





Big telcos won't do it, it's too cost prohibitive.
