  Thing is, we already paid for connecting a majority residences. The corporations we paid just didn’t do it.

    They weren’t just paid, they were paid repeatedly and they repeatedly didn’t do it.

  80% of the USA lives within urban areas (source). Urban “fiberization” is absolutely within reach.

  Agree that running fiber out to very remote areas is tricky, but even then it’s probably not prohibitive for all but the most remote locations.

    I use Visible which has unlimited data for $25/month.
