    It’s not all a story of failure, because there are numerous rural areas that have fiber now that did not before those programs. Some states have added on programs that boost the fiber adoption, like letting local phone and power companies roll out fiber on utility poles along the power lines. For example, I’m in a rural area and have 2 good options for fiber for about $50/mo with higher tier plans available.
