According to the last OECD report 79% of the US population lives near an urban center; there is no population density/geographic cost challenge difference compared to Japan for those people.
All those telcom's that went bankrupt laying cable (in the 90s anyway) was from laying long haul fiber that went unused because the last mile was too under-built to utilize it, so it lay dark, not generating revenue. I don't care if it cost you $100's to lay it, if it's not generating any revenue, bankruptcy is your only option. |
