I'm talking about wiring brand new builds for an ISP. Getting the coax, fiber, telephone line right to the home before the lawn is sodded and drywall is installed is a really fast/cheap job. It costs basically nothing to do because there aren't a whole bunch of easements and property rights problems to navigate.
Generally, a developer already owns the rights to everything so it's just working with them to get everything done. And they like it because who doesn't want an internet ready community to sell?
You end up talking $100 per unit vs the $2000 or $5000. Which is a great discount for the ISP.
