The town doesn't want to connect few streets to the internet. The town wants internet available everywhere because even if boomer parent might not care, their kids when grow up might want to have stable internet for work, same with any new developments, good internet becomes number one priority for many people buying homes. It might be difference between small town slowly dying and prospering (because people moving in to work remotely will spend in local economy). Yeah there will always be cases of cities not being reasonable and wanting telco to fork in on putting 10km of fiber per farmer living in vast area (which would be better served by radio), but overall giving for-profit big corporations so much power for city development is insane.
