> The company was not given any build-out directive, and it took 18 years to cover 90% of the city, building out in a demand-driven fashion. A local telco here was wanting to take this approach to provide fiber internet, proposed when the city was wanting to start a municipal broadband project. Their plan was to build out high demand areas first, then expand from there to lower income/more sparse areas. They were raked over the coals as "picking and choosing" who would get internet service.
