I don't really see bike touring in the U.S. as that. I mean, if you want to take secluded trip somewhere, it's probably best to stay of the paved roads and stop shopping at gas stations for food. Sure, it's an adventure, but I don't see how a phone with television is any worse than the McDonalds you eat at on tour or the roads you ride on.
If I want secluded, I go hiking. If I want a fun little adventure, I take the bike...and phone
