I was reading a different article about it yesterday, I forget where.
It mentioned that they didn't go deep enough with the Microtrenching, I
think it was only 6", and that the fiber was pushing out of the ground
in alot of spots. Basically they were going to have to completely
rebuild the whole plant, so they just bailed. It mentioned another
company that was doing like 12" trenching and didn't have any problems.

through national monuments etc, getting a permit to go in the shoulder

Sure enough. But if it doesn't get USA attention, you may be doing a
lot of repairs. Sounds like that's what Google discovered.

I recently got a quote from a contractor for microtrenching.
$12/foot asphalt repair, duct and handholes included. Cheaper
than boring.

From the article: *The tech giant acknowledged problems in
Louisville with a new method of digging shallower trenches to
speed up the installation times of the fiber optic cable. Google
says the problems were "disruptive to residents and caused service
issues for our customers."*

Sounds like they tried microtrenching and then discovered its
limitations, or how little city/construction crews worry about
hitting fiber when it's at pretty much street level/directly in
their work area.

Yet another confirmation that it's not as easy as it looks.
