Re: quite clear

Part of the issue is that ISP's would rather hoard over their exclusive networks and squeeze as much blood from their customers as possible.

AT&T went bankrupt in the 80's laying cable and now everyone wants another company to do the same w/fiber?

I want fiber ::hell-yeah:: but I'm not as naive to believe a big corporation isn't considering the cost factor.

The corporation cares about 1 thing : money.

No one is talking about wiring Montana or Idaho. We're talking about wiring, NYC, Boston, LA etc.

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.
