aka the Australian NBN model ? Or taking the Allied Fiber 'real-estate' model to the edge. It's not beyond possibility that some US muni's may go for it. j
Recipe for success is to have a neutral entity whose business idea is to rent out fiber to anyone who wants to rent it, and who goes all the way to residential customers. Aggregate at nodes with several thousand households and let ISPs colocate at these nodes to reach end users.
Think COs but instead of copper, use fiber, and the entitity who owns this doesn't do anything but L1.
