Have you priced building your own fiber? If costs are that high and fiber transport is that scarce then you could certainly find many who would buy an exit ramp on your information super-highway if you build your own fiber. It has a life cycle of up to 30 plus years so you should be able to

That comes to $24,288 for 20 miles aerial fiber with 64 strands. Obviously this does not include easements, make ready, labor, etc. but obviously the costs to put in fiber have dropped considerably over the last few years. What brand fiber / supplier quoted you this if you do not mind me asking?
