Huh? Plumbed power, gas, water -- all essentials, part of most building designs, and a virtually guaranteed market. Cable internet -- optional! Underground power -- look at who has to pay for that! We have variable (good and *bad*) grades of telecomms infrastructure, and plently of population living in units and flats with specific limitations. For a long time (maybe not since the last year or so) many urban houses didn't even have ADSL, let alone Cable. I'm sure someone can run Fibre, as you say, but have we had the latent subscriber demand and density for it to be a lucrative bet? Maybe now the time is right, governments permitting...
