What's the benefit of waiting? The same benefit of waiting that you or I get when it comes to technology- as time goes on gear gets smaller, cheaper and better.
Yes. the technology gets cheaper and better over time. But I can say with very high probability - the cost of installinng a new infrastructure (ala Fiber) to the node or home will be much higher in 1 2 or 5 years than today due to labor and in many cases the cost to acquire rights of way.

ROW costs will probably be cheaper with state-wide agreements.

ROW costs are always local. A state-wide franchise agreement wouldn't solve that as each locality is responsible for the ROW in its jurisdiction.

If a state-wide agreement tried to change that, you can bet there will be some screaming because ROW costs vary based on location for a number of reasons.
