My coworkers mom signed up for it about 1.5 years ago and got connected about a year ago in rural WA. Are you sure you're still on the list?

Yeah, they were notified they'll have the chance soon. I think it depends on your area. As I understand it, they were being very limited with accepting users as they continue to expand capacity.
