What is so wrong for a company with a business plan to push fiber into every neighborhood in their service area first and then extend it to the homes. IMHO it is a smart one that makes sense from a business stand point. Use your existing infrastructure for the last mile while paying for the upgrades to the feed side of the loop. Then you can upgrade the distribution side later. There is a lot of costs involved in doing this. Just read on this site for all of the problems that have had with placements of the cabinets,ROW,easements,etc... placing the fiber cables.
I for one would love to see any of you so called experts on the site take on all of the different government entities around this country. -- GO NOLES!!
