   There are some grim statistics in there, but like Canada,   
   there is plenty of wide open space, and getting that all

   This is a moderately good way to get the Internet, but   
   it still requires a tower close enough to you for the signal.   
   It's sorta like 4G or 5G, only for a fixed location, and   
   uses a different frequency than the cell phones use. And   
   because some of the microwave frequencies can be a bit higher ones,   
   it can be affected by weather (snow, or heavy rain). The Wiki   
   calls this "Motorola Canopy".
