Rural fiber optic installation well under way.

Wishful thinking ….. not even the 1st or 2nd time it has been tried by Congress …. unsuccessfully.

It costs $50k to $75k per rural linear mile to run fiber cable, depending on whether it is aerial or buried …. and that doesn’t include the optical or network equipment to light it for use. Notwithstanding the massive supply chain shortages of cabling, optics, and related chip limitations .

Moreover, current telco/isp models gravitate toward customer density (profit) rather than service (reaching rural geographies) There simply is no money in it for the operators.

It’s a grift
