Hi there... I am the article's author, and I hope I was clear that with regards to the first quote I was not talking about myself, necessarily -- although I sympathize with the urban-centric point of view, I also know that we have to have a diverse culture and country life will always be a part of it.
But more importantly, regarding the second comment: This statement is in response to real-world polls that show that a huge number of people lacking broadband specifically say they don't want it. Your experience proves my point that these polls simply cannot be correct. If anyone actually says they don't want broadband, they can't possibly know what they're even talking about. I can only suppose that they think there's a hidden cost to it (money, or maybe learning something new) and that the pollster is asking a trick question.
