Not a good idea in the USA unless a law is passed forcing internet providers to run broadband or fiber optic to all rural areas (Like the Telecommunications Act of 1934 did with telephone landline service). The digital divide is already severely disadvantaging folks living in places with no high speed internet available. Most of those areas also don’t have good cellular service and their internet option is limited to slow, expensive, weather sensitive, and data capped satellite service.
