> There are homes today that don't have internet because of financial reasons.

Homes today don't have internet because of market reasons. Artificial monopolies, lobbying, and decades and billions of dollars spent by the government in failed and incomplete projects have created the current situation. And now without net-neutrality, it's getting even worse. This is all because of policy not finances.
