      It’s not that those places don’t deserve modernization, it’s just that those are much more sparsely populated areas, with much longer distances between population centers. From a cost and logistics perspective, it doesn’t make sense to build routes in those places before establishing routes elsewhere, in denser areas. You have to walk before you can run, etc.
