Agree and that is why I'm concerned for those in rural or mountainous areas where there is either spotty cell coverage and/or internet or none at all.

This was one of the things that Biden's various pieces of legislation were attempting to help with - getting service out to rural areas. But that effort looks to be ditched or altered by 45 and the GOP loons, if it hasn't already been - especially now with "the feud".
