Can the Internet save rural America?

Bright Ridge, a power company which showed up about two years ago,
did some interesting new things around here like bring in smart meters,
solar power for those who can afford it, and level two charging station for
electric vehicles. I read about one guy somewhere around here that has
a Tesla who might use it. A couple of months ago, they brought in ten
gigabit per second internet service for a block wide and mile long section
of Jonesborough, Tennessee. If I remember correctly, the sixth smallest
town in America to do so.

It's just... well... who would use it?

Six thousand people live here surrounded by corn, cows, lakes, and mountains.
The paper suggests people into information technology might move here for
the speed. But they already live in big cities with fast internet connections.

Can you imagine any of them singing the "Green Acres" song and moving here?
