answer: ME!
I recently moved (maybe somebody noticed I was missing) and my new house is in an internet dead zone. No cable, no DSL, - and who can afford to pay for satelite service?
Maybe civilization will find me again someday. Oh woe.... |

Hadn't noticed. 
Anyway...
Do you have a wireless service where you are. Wireless internet has been growing lately, and unlike satelite, its costs are comparable to cable internet-assuming its in your area.

Almost every coffee shop, restaurant, and school has wireless.  |

What I meant was an over-the-air, wireless internet service provider. Even the St. Cloud area (  7th Circle of Hell ) has a company that does that. I’m a bit further out, so I’m on the borderline of its service area, but the concept is nice.
