| Telendrith | Morning! | 20:18 |
| ianorlin | hi | 20:19 |
| Telendrith | No Hi!?! You haven't had enough coffee today | 20:21 |
| * ianorlin actually doesn't drink coffee | 20:21 | |
| Telendrith | Wait. What? | 20:22 |
| Telendrith | I mean, I drink a cup of Tea before my coffee but I don't think I could go without the coffee half :| | 20:22 |
| Telendrith | I have a question I guess I could bounce off you guys | 20:32 |
| Telendrith | After 6 years of being in the Army, I'm finally finishing up and heading home. I live in the country, ok. That's a bad example, it's not country, it's strait up rural no-mans land. And as beautiful and magical as it is there's no internet, etc. How hard would it be to get rural internet or start a rural ISP | 20:33 |
| ianorlin | I don't honestly know but it could be hard because of costs of running cables and other things | 20:34 |
| ianorlin | and also if someone claims to have a deal but isn't serving it | 20:34 |
| ianorlin | with lots of regulation | 20:34 |
| akk | Rural ISPs often use wireless, I believe. | 20:34 |
| Telendrith | Interesting, I've heard that, but there's no LOS in our area :( | 20:35 |
| akk | I don't know how they get the connection that they then share out to their customers. | 20:35 |
| Telendrith | We'd haveto run fiber | 20:35 |
| Telendrith | It looks like the FCC and USDA run a few subsidies and grants | 20:36 |
| akk | There is satellite internet but latency is pretty terrible, I hear. | 20:36 |
| Telendrith | But how hard would the non-red tape part be | 20:36 |
| Telendrith | Like infrastructure, servers, etc be | 20:37 |
| ianorlin | finding qualified people in the area could be a problem as there might not be that many | 20:38 |
| Telendrith | I'd say there's about 20-120 people | 20:39 |
