Do you not see the irony here? It's suggested the government comes in and delivers fiber to every house in the country and yet today we're saying they haven't gotten it right in the last ~20 years.
Isn't the request actually to better manage the process/results and not permit folk to act outside the interests of the citizenry?
Grants and federal funds are available. It's a massive amount of work to get them, at which point those with money find more profitable ways of doing things - like FTTH in a city with 100 subs/mile.
'we have always been at work with elbonia' isn't really the greatest answer.
How could this be done better?
If you were to re-think the process and be able to build a new process, how would you achieve the goal outlined in the proposed FCC direction/regulation?
