Maybe you should check into a small town called Powell, WY. They're doing quite well without issues and operates an impressive FTTP network.
If it is such a slam-dunk easy way to make money, why don't you go issue some private debt and start digging?
Oh, wait -- you have to pay more interest on private bonds, don't you. Oh, don't forget about the sales tax on the supplies you buy, too. Did your Ditch Witch break? Maybe you could borrow one from the guys at the DPW for a couple of days. Gas is getting expensive now, too bad you can't get in on the county gasoline contract.
