What about rural?

I am so sick of companies repeatedly rolling out faster and cheaper service in cities that already have several choices for their internet.

What about placing some of this investment in rural areas?

Because it's not profitable?

No, because the ROI is more then a year.

Nope. Telephone cooperatives rolling out fiber to rural areas are profitable, but they have to amortize their bildout costs over ten or more years to get this profitability. Which is fine, because the infrastructure will definitely last that long. But shareholders don't like that one bit.

Exactly, neither would I if I were a shareholder. But I'm not. So deploy the fiber!!
