Wealthy people can enjoy phone and internet service wherever they go as they crap all over earth's few remaining wild places.



There's no reason people living in rural areas that have long been settled by humans shouldn't enjoy fiber optic communications and grid electrical power. My great grandparents who lived in very rural U.S.A. got telephone and electric service as part of FDR's New Deal. That should be the norm, the standard we aspire to, everywhere on earth.

Let the few remaining wilderness areas remain wilderness. We've already got emergency beacon services covering most of the earth's surface. That's enough.

I do not support or celebrate billionaires and their toxic dreams of world domination.
