Do you think remote work will change or help the situation?

This is the saving grace for some, but you will be forced to live in the city, and subject to the whims of the renters market. It is still terrible internet, and expensive to afford enough bandwidth to video call. Forget running VPNs or anything like that. Haha

There is no real internet infrastructure to support remote work outside the main drag.

Starlink can help but it's still prohibitively expensive for people in Maine who need it the most.

Unfortunately more serious build outs starting about 20 years ago was the real answer but we can't fix that. Fiber is coming and helpful, but even a WISP with a decent backbone could have done a lot in some areas.

Starlink is good. But we're talking about an actual internet infrastructure, not outliers.
I mean I could quote that commercial, I need a job, to get an education, to get a job, to get money..etc..
