> It's cheaper per capita to roll out fibre to 50 million people than to 5 million; This assumes an awful lot of things. If the average number of linear feet constructed grows when going from 5 million to 50 million then the cost per capita isn’t going to decrease. What going from 5 million to 50 million enables is averaging high cost builds over a larger subscriber base resulting in affordable prices for more people. Note that this will not however decrease costs overall.
