I think you've got it backwards. This is much more efficient than running cables everywhere and putting up giant towers all over the place in density needed to service everyone. That's why it's working in the first place. It's cheaper to do this than the alternative. (Too many Europeans assume rural places in America are similar to rural places in Europe. The layout is fundamentally different.)
