Agree!
We are now almost 17 years into the 21st century. Every single person on planet earth should have, and carry their own WIFI (hotspot) source too. There's no excuse not to have your own.
I think you are both seeing WiFi as a personal bit of technology ...like a phone. I think that is the wrong way to look at it.
WiFi is much more like electricity, gas or water it's really now a basic infrastructure and should be regarded as such. This is why I made the analogy to the outhouse and indoor plumbing.
The WiFi hotspot devices are actually on their way out now. Besides that 4GLTE is limited and much much slower than good Fast DSL, Fiberoptic etc. It is not the answer. Especially since you are at the mercy of the "coverage map" of your provider.
As for Rural Places if you look closely as you drive out in the country you will be surprised how much is covered by Fiber Optic service. In point of fact some rural areas are better served in some states than the cities. This is due to Federal assistance to bring Fast dependable WiFi Cable and Telephone to rural areas.
