The problem with this is that rural areas are aging and shrinking and infrastructure is very expensive to expand. Given the high costs and decreasing demand for high speed internet services, since younger people usually move into cities looking for work, I don't see major ISPs putting much investment into these communities. You may see smaller ISPs open shop but it's a difficult market to enter and major ISPs also have stakes in various other services along with the federal government which will continue to stifle competition. Pai said "let the free market handle it" while there is no free market.
