In the US we’ll do anything but build fiber with the billions we tossed at the telecom industry.

Putting fiber in the ground is expensive. I work for an ISP, and we estimate fiber overbuild costs at $15/ft. So a mile of underground fiber costs about $79,200.

Yup. That's why we gave them all that money years ago to do it. It was cheaper then too.
