Where? In the US? It's already been paid for multiple times over, through government grants and subsidies.

Can you tell me more about this? Is it true that government grants and subsidies were given out to specifically expand fiber to rural America?

You're putting words in my mouth. I was speaking in generalities about physical connections, not specifically about fibre.

And we already have physical connections, even in rural America.
