That was sort of my point.  Lonnie said he works for an ISP, but didn't
specify which. I'm assuming it's not Comcast.  Therefore these people
living in Comcast-only areas aren't his customers and he doesn't hear
from them.  I also know the area I live in was once said to be "sparsely
populated", since there were maybe 100 houses surrounded by square miles
of fields, and Comcast and Qwest weren't interested.  Comcast became
interested first, then a few months later, Qwest did, but that was three
years after I had moved in and the only option I had for broadband was a
fly-by-night WISP that couldn't get their act together.
