I think a wifi network is the only thing that could possibly make sense. The minute the ISP needs to start digging, it's all over. That being said, even a wifi network can be expensive in term of labor.
Additionally, in the case of really low population density combined with low line of sight distances (think northern Canada) even wifi may not be feasible.
