Providing service once the fiber has been laid is comparatively very cheap. Providing health care once a hospital has been built still involves considerable expense (caregiver salaries, consumables, insurance, etc.) |

Granted, it might not be as disproportionate as your hospital example, but it still exists nevertheless. |
