Oh this is not about rural broadband. Municipal broadband is putting a light WiFi signal into a dense population. That's rather cheap. But in your case Griff it would be spending million$ at a time to run circuits up hills in order to get signal to a few hundred homes at a time. Your local municipality can't even afford the rights of way.

At least this part is no longer true.

Tri-County Rural Electric Inc. is the first rural electric cooperative in Pennsylvania to commit to providing broadband services to its members. The incentive program was essential to ensuring they could provide this critical service in rural Pennsylvania.

"Pennsylvania's electric cooperatives have a long tradition of serving rural needs," said Frank Betley, President & CEO of the Pennsylvania Rural Electric Association. "This opportunity to partner with the commonwealth on expanding broadband access is a welcome development in continuing that tradition. It serves as a further demonstration of the commitment our electric cooperatives have in improving the quality of life in rural Pennsylvania."
