Let me resolve that confusion for you. Its because there's not enough money in rural fiber. Its not worth it or someone would have already done it.

  There is also not enough money in rural powerlines or rural roads yet somehow we manage to build those.

    Not well. I have power down 10-20 days a year and I'm less than 12 miles as the crow flies from the Googleplex. There's no cable, fiber, or cell here and our neighborhood has to maintain a mile of its own road to service 35 homes because the county will not. Same for water. AT&T is in the process of ending our landline service.

    Hold that thought. We built also all of them nearly a century ago now, and we can barely keep them up.
