That is why the system only works for regulated rate of return carriers.
They don't have to make the normal business case pencil out because they are
guaranteed to cover their costs and get a return on the investment.

Maybe it's because the low hanging fruit has been taken and the rest
doesn't work?
I just finished a proposal for fiber to the home for two rural
communities here in Pennsylvania.
I knew it would cost money and grants would be needed, but what I didn't
realize until after I finished the presentation for the County
Commissioners was that the system would operate a a nearly $2,500/month
ongoing deficit once installed - and that was assuming a 100% take rate
of about 300 end-users.

Got a question from an elected official type about why bids have been slow
to come in for CAF-II, and also looking at RDOF and the satellite "lock
up”. I’m sure there are some opinions here, any you wish to relate?
