      6530 Starlink satellites in low earth orbit tell me that if there is such a location, it is not within the contiguous 48 states. If they have the money, there is an option for the Internet access.

        Don’t satellites require receivers?

          As far as I know, connecting to the internet requires some kind of device or another. I don’t know if any Internet access point that operates on telepathy.

          One thing that all of those accessing devices have in common is that “money” is required to initially obtain them, and/or to maintain connectivity to the serving provider.

            Even more important than “money” tends to be “electricity”. Which is why public investment in cheaper and cleaner power sources is the baseline for any kind of urban development.
