My house is 10km from the nearest town, and 1/2km from my nearest neighbour. But I am hooked to an electric line, I could be hooked to a wired phone line, I could hook up to a water line, and I could even hook up to a natural gas line (which is completely wild).

But no wired broadband internet! This is just not where governments are putting money, and many are happy to use Starlink to leapfrog that rural infrastructure development cost, at the cost of supporting an American billionaire company.
