Sure, because a community likely has more to gain from this than a big telecom corporation. A community benefits when its members can reliably attend telemedicine visits, even if the community broadband is provided at cost. They care about what you can do with the connection, not the connection itself.

A telecom corporation doesn't have a way of profiting from such community benefits. It only benefits if it can somehow charge a transaction tax on those benefits in the form of Internet connection fees high enough to turn a profit.
