That is sadly true. There are places around who have only dreamt of a broadband connection or may ask 'What does a mobile stand for?'
Yet another facet of the problem, I shifted to a farmhouse couple of years back, some 30 kms away from the city. The telephone companies won't give me a broadband connection because it's not
'technically feasible and economically viable' for them. I had no other option but to use a GPRS (too slow!) or a GSM-3G (too expensive!!) instead. I went for 3G, and now paying more than double of a broadband price every month.
