In some areas of the country, yes. In Washington state (Whatcom/Skagit/Island county), I would estimate that most of the fiber optics are aerial. Some extra work needs to be done to dampen vibrations due to the wind, but this is relatively simple. Aerial fiber can be very inexpensive. In Bellingham, a pair on a 70km run could be had for the about the same recurring cost as a T1, and build-out is fast and cheap.
