Unfortunately, fiber optic infrastructure is completely unrelated to population density. In fact, city development tends to stand in the way of infrastructure upgrades. Pathetic, but that's what's going on.

As an example, my university is in the middle of nowhere, but happens to be on the high-tech corridor, so my personal internet is 16mb down, 5 up and about 3-5x better than people in much larger cities that aren't on the fiber optic corridor.

That's bullshit, if the internet is down you can't stream, if you can't stream you can't play the games either.

What do they have to gain from not casting the games?

I wish they'd put some better music on, if they insist on playing it, form what I remember the music that they had on the Blizzard EU invitational stream during downtime was pretty good, and that was ESL too.
