    Australia almost did this right with the National Broadband Network.

    Unfortunately, it was then sabotaged by the government after an election changed the majority party.

    It seems to be back on track after wasting an extraordinary amount of time and money by installing copper lines, just to completely replace them with the fiber lines that were in the original plan.

          Maybe but like from a networking perspectice it is harder to getndistance on, requires largwrs ducts, shorted cable drumming. There is no economy in which it makes sense, even the actual product would need heavy… yeah maybe a government would do tat if they were backwards.
