   This is a minor problem compared to the nearly universal problem of the high cost of running wire.

   Look at our options:

   * Cable from the 1960s
   * Phone lines from the 1950s
   * AT&T using old permits to run new fiber optics

   It's always the high costs keeping out new entrants that preserve monopolies.

     @amerika @pieist Keep in mind the efforts of the dominant ISPs to prevent communities from setting up their own fiber etc.
