Who are these people who have good enough internet connections for one reasonable Remote Desktop session, let alone dozens?

Outside of college I've never been in a building with that kind of bandwidth. At a tech company office, sure, but they don't need to outsource this kind of thing. Your average small to medium business in my hometown has 3Mbps at best.

Once you graduate away from cable, it's pretty cheap in a central business district or office park. I think we have 100meg circuits everywhere now.
Unless Charter owns the monopoly in your area.. $80/mo for 100/7 copper, or $450/mo for 100 symmetrical fiber.
There's no monopoly on commercial fiber in many places. Even at my home in a city, I could get commercial metro-ethernet service from 4-5 providers. You do have to pay for build-out costs.

When you're siting an office, it's definitely something to look at.
