Lessons learned from the sticks (and other social media vacation adventures in Downeast Maine) «

My friend Nate has a witty take on Internet access, mobile phones and social media in Maine. I don't think you have to go that far to find the lack of access. In rural Wisconsin, broadband leaves a lot to be desired if it even exists. Things like no cable on mile long roads with less than 10 homes can kill alot of access in the farm country that is predominant in WI.
