Paulcardoza, Your view is a bit myopic. The fact is there is much more expense to convert to an ultra high speed wireless network, even if the backhaul is available. Most people are satisfied with either using their own mifi-type plans or are OK with the current wifi that is provided by many RV parks, you know, the type that are good for surfing the net, accessing e-mail and paying bills online. Only very few really feel the need to stream 100s of gigabytes of video a month. So the cost of that upgrade is really not spread across all the sites in the park, but rather only across the sites that would only be rented if such wifi was available. It doesn't make financial sense to spend hundreds or thousands a month to get three additional monthly renters paying $500 a month. It is the same reason most park cable TV doesn't carry premium movie channels, the cost wouldn't be justified by any additional business. People will stay at the park whether they have HBO or not. Same with or without ultra high speed, high capacity internet capability.
