If you still have a copper land-line, there's a line-item on your bill for the Universal Service Fund. Originally, it paid for rural telecom (phones for farms), but there's been a lot of debate recently on whether the money should be used for bringing internet access to remote areas.

From a technology standpoint, fiber would be the only option. The distances involved are too long for DSL and coax cable.
