In big cities or well populated suburban areas of the United States, broadband is ubiquitous. Getting it is as easy as calling the local cable company and asking to send someone over to hook it up. But in other areas around the country, broadband is non-existent. And the sheer number of people without it might surprise some of the luckier Web users who have high-speed Internet connections.

But then there's that occasional customer, that 1 percent who needs a carburetor rebuild kit for a '54 Buick Super straight 8. It's a $50 part that you don't stock and might bring you $5 in margin. Do you send the customer away, or spend the next hour on the phone placing a special order?
