This is what Utopia did in Utah...they worked with UDOT and was a collaboration between the state and smaller telecoms to build out a network but it was in collaboration with a lot of providers. Everytime there was road construction they laid conduit, first from SLC to Provo, then to all the smaller communities off i15, then all the rurals. I live in a rural town with 45 thousand in the entire county and I have access to 1 gig fiber. In my previous rental in an even more small town (500 residents) I still had fiber. This was 45 minutes from any other town. Utah rocks for broadband and is one of the best models I've ever seen.
