In some cases these are million dollar houses, so it's not just the poor people who are impacted. It's not the question of how much money a given person has. It's question of how much a given person is ready to spend on the internet, phone and all other goodies. If s/he does not want to spend enough to get a good internet in their home then why do you think s/he'll be ready to spend substantial money on software and hardware?

Because "substantial money on software and hardware" is only about €5'000, while a good internet connection cost about €10'000 per km away from the nearest ISP junction. You know, not everyone live in big cities...
