RURAL WIFI in the OZARKS!

[FrancSevin]

We just got a message from our Internet provider, White River Electric, that the WIFI system will be installed today at Hippie Ridge.
It will be install in what will become the Power-node/Bathhouse.

This structure is 12' X 8' and will be the central distribution point of Electric power to the various buildings on the place.

I find it hilarious that we have WIFI but do not have running water.

Priorities. LOL

I have internet via a local provider who offers 'wide area' wi-fi. My other options are "dial up" and StarLink.

No sewers. No municipal water. No municipal trash service. Hell I don't even have a public road or public snow plowing.

I'll happily take the private services of my local wide area wi-fi, or the choice of Musk's StarLink over the government granted monopoly of dial up service. And as for water/sewers/trash pick up or a public roadway . . . I'm happy to tell them to all take a flying leap. I can do for myself by using private enterprises that actually CARE about customer service.

It's a paradox, because it shouldn't be like this and all veges should be organic, but here we get a very large constrast. But if there is an Internet, it's already good, the main thing is that nothing ends there.

Starlink has been great. I have the traditional and the rv version that only activate when I use it.
