I will cherish that day!
It will probably happen if this capitalist wet-dream mellows a bit and government is incentivized to provide their own internet infra regardless of profit. But I am 45 and will probably be long decomposed by then.
But in the near-term - I can’t see any land-based ISP covering where I live.
The cost to run 15km of lines to town, when even power poles don’t exist, just to service me and the one other nutter who decided to live up here would be prohibitive even for govt funded public internet.
