Maybe you should try living in the bush before voicing an incorrect opinion. They don't get smartphones for free, but deserve basic sanitation that the rest of the USA takes for granted. Smartphones are paid for by those living in the village just as they are paid for by anyone else, anywhere else. Additionally, they have the worst service I have ever seen or heard of with constant outages in the villages and yet GCI continues to take their monthly payments. So, before you sit there and repeat rumors, go live there for a few years.
