RE: An Explanation of the State of the Internet Infrastructure in the United States
I was actually watching a true crime documentary a few days called "The Disappearance of Maura Murray," and they were interviewing some of the homeowners who lived close to the spot where they believe she vanished from.
This documentary was produced about 6 months ago, and just began to air a few weeks ago. I was shocked to hear a few of the residents mention that even now, in 2017, they still do NOT have cell phone service inside their homes!
Honestly, I couldn't believe it. Now, I understand that there are probably plenty of places in the US where you cannot get a cell signal, but in an area where there are quite a few homes? That's really astounding.
It made me wonder whether or not they had Internet or cable TV service there.
It's funny that I came across your post because I had actually been thinking about this just a couple of hours ago!
Great article BTW. Upvoted and followed :)
Where I lived up to 2007 we could get Cell phone service as long as we used Verizon as it was the only network that worked in that area, but there were still very large areas without any coverage.
