We had point to point internet for years. Then they went belly up. Which is why we have starlink today.

Yes, and that's the problem. Fibre should be treated the same way as electric and, formerly, landline phones. For the last 20-30+ years, the government has handed billions out to connect everyone. With very little movement in a LOT of places.

I mean, tbf, all the big telecoms have received billions over the last 20+ years to "connect rural America". A lot of us still don't have access to alternatives.
