Hello Jim & Henning -

I think Henning has raised an interesting & thought provoking question -
how do we define rural?

I agree - if you see in the UK and other "developed" countries - many multi
billionaires live in rural areas -
look at weybridge in the UK:
http://www.hamptons.co.uk/forsaleoffice/weybridge/1599/

:)

should we consider from a "network access" perspective areas like Weybridge
as really rural -

should rural be classified from an affordability angle? but in urban areas
affordability is also an issue - so that leads me to

maybe - we should have new classification probably not by geography but
rather socio-economic status?

regards
