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.

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.

the way that i interpret it, it does not require phone service but does
still offer grants for phone service.

anyway, that is irrelevant. the point is that grants are offered for
internet services infrastructure (and they are poorly managed).
