While chatting with my FIOS installer I mentioned how expensive it must be to supply each neighborhood and run glass to each house. His response was very true: People are moving more and more to data than voice or analog video and they will be unable to compete with the cable companies soon, so they need to take the opportunity and invest in fiber ahead of time. It makes plenty of sense. My fios bill is the first time I've given money to a phone company in five years. (And your $100 estimate is more than double...)
