So I guess they should stop building roads because it is not fair to the many people that do not have cars.
Roads are used by more than cars; funding comes out of property taxes (so you can get to your property) and gas taxes (ie, usage tax).

Data transportation is just as important as physical transportation.
Telephone service is important as well, not just for the economy but for emergency services like 911. You don't see governments building out copper PSTN plants...

Why should the government do that?
Private companies already do that.

In Lafayette the private company refused to install fiber, so the people voted for their government to do it.

You don't see govenments building out PSTN plants today, but they most certainly did in the past. The big telcos have bought out those already. Remember telephone service is a mature product. It had similiar issues in its past. Oh, and not just residential users will be using the new infrastructure. I'm sure business will take advantage of the network.
