Population density issues (you can only have so many people with long driveways and neighbors far away per square mile) mean that these people are *way* down the long tail. Right up there with people who live on tiny almost uninhabited islands out in the middle of the ocean. :) Since there isn't infinite money to build a system that will reach *everybody*, the only reasonable approach is to cobble together a set of overlapping systems on existing technology that covers the most people while staying inside the funding restrictions.
