Traditional solutions that provide high-speed broadband access use wired access technologies, such as traditional cable, digital subscriber line, Ethernet, and fiber optic. It is extremely difficult and expensive for carriers to build and maintain wired networks, especially in rural and remote areas. Carriers are unwilling to install the necessary equipment in these areas because of little profit and potential.
