Moderate-bandwidth wireless data service is not very expensive to provide; that's why cheap motels and cafes can afford to offer it. It could easily be provided as a public service, and would be much cheaper that a road network. (Long distance telephone service is also much cheaper than local. "Prices have nothing to do with costs", say the marketing gurus.) There are lists of WiFi hotspots on the web; there are a fair number in Knoxville, though I wouldn't bet on New Market.
We reach for a new world...but maybe it won't arrive in the USA. I'm actually betting on Latin America at this point.
