Privacy & Internet - The Holy Grail

[Aaron S]

I think the biggest hurdle for widespread broadband access here is spread out population base. In other words, there isn't much incentive for Oceanic Time Warner Cable, Hawaiian Telcom, or to a lesser extent, Sandwich Isles Communications to deploy faster speed tiers to all the remote fringes of this island.

For example, Hawaiian Telcom is spending large sums of capital to roll out FTTH service on Oahu. They're taking this step because the return on investment is much greater in Honolulu versus Puna.
