(Perhaps covered already in the draft…)

Sometimes, especially in developing countries, rural also loosely implies a poorer economic situation (average income per capita) than metro areas in the same country, and frequently reduced general infrastructure (roads, water systems, grid power) than the metro areas.  I think one of the drivers for migration to cities in developing counties is somewhat better infrastructure in cities than in the rural areas.

From a networking perspective, it's very different whether you connect isolated rural dwellings, separated by miles, or villages, with clusters of a few hundred residences. (In the US, think Vermont small town vs. individual farms in Kansas or Oklahoma or homes along rural streets in West Virginia.)
