They even mention that only half of their subs will be reached by the new network.
No, they said only half will get IPTV. This sounds like a FTTN project; only those close enough to a node for high-enough speeds on ADSL2+ will get TV, I guess.

Since they're not a publicly-traded corporation, all they need to do is not lose money. They don't need to maximize ROI in order to make Wall St. happy.

USF funds aren't available to fund broadband, except to schools. It's only for basic telephony.
Forget about maximizing ROI, I am more curious about how they plan on not losing money by doing this. While they are not a public company, they still need to make money in order to survive. 10 gig rings are not cheap (even from a wholesale perspective) here in NYC, I cant even imagine the cost to deploy one in a very rural area! I am not saying this cant be done, I would just really like to see the business plan and look at the numbers to understand how they are going to make it work.

I'm guessing they're getting some sort of help from ConnectKentucky.
