we already give people free access to the internet. It is called the public library system. Other than that it is a luxury you need to pay for. If there is no financial sense for a ISP to move into an area, then tough cookies. Get a 3G adapter for your PC and hopefully you have cell towers close enough.
Considering most people use the internet to shop, get news, or post on facebook/myspace, I see no reason for the government to spend taxpayers hard earned money on providing an unnecessary service. The companies that need high speed internet will pay for a dedicated line, so it's not like they won't be denied service.
