| Re: Population density is good for deployment. pop density should make deployment more cost efficient, therefore more profitable, but high pop density doesn't guarantee deployment just like low pop density doesn't preclude deployment.
the OECD looked at how pop density impacted deployment and they found little or no correlation - high pop density areas were no more likely to have broadband than low density areas.
as already alluded to in comments, why don't NY, LA, DC, Boston, Atlanta, etc. etc. etc. all have fiber? | |

| Because burying cable in a city (which hs a certainly in all the above except the outlying and pricier sections of the city, such as Far Northwest Washington, DC, basically from the corner of Eastern and Western Avenues where they meet each other (and North Capitol Street) west to the Potomac River), where you not only *must* pay various fees to dig up the streets, pay either contractors or your own people to bury the cables, but then pay to put the street back at least as good as it was, if not better) is horribly expensive. (It's not cheap in urban Japan, either; only Manhattan among major cities/city sections on Earth costs more to bury fiber.) Los Angeles is AT&T territory (so ask AT&T), and so is Atlanta. Boston, NYC, and DC are all (except for, surprisingly, Boston) in the process of being wired. | |
