    Thank again, Japan is the size of California. This is rural Japan not a suberb. And even many of the actual suberbs in California don’t have fiber to the home.

    This is about monopolies running rampant and misuse of public money not about the technical feasibility.

    Edit: These companies literally bought back their own stock to inflate their market cap instead of building out the infrastructure we funded.

      I’m not saying that the USA shouldn’t have fiber everywhere, it should be like water or electric, my point was suggesting that rural japan is even remotely close to rural US is a bit of a stretch.

      And cali is slightly larger than japan, not by much but it is, and that’s just one state.
