"If it was affordable" is a tricky statement. There's no such thing as a free lunch. If taxes/government/municipalities/etc are required to make it "affordable" that means all of the people are paying for it with extra steps.
To put it very simply, imagine the US does fiber the way it does power. If every single person throws in $10/mo every month we could easily hook up that guy that's 5 miles from the closest source of power/water in the Nevada desert. Is that fair to the guy in a 150+ person apartment building? One gets solitude and fiber internet, the other has to deal with neighbors and gets fiber internet.
Exclude the problems with government regulated power (or anything) for this topic, please.
>Heck, for many people, water and power are not cheaply available.
In what instance? Power has cost assistance and water in most environments is pretty accessible. I'm not sure what you mean here.
