Eric- The way the guy I talked to from Comcast explained it to me, it was partly getting all the necessary permits and right-of-ways. Utility poles are owned by the respective utilities. Then if they have to go underground you have to get an easement ( I signed away a portion of my land in perpetuity). All this takes time....then each new area goes to Beta, and he says at this point there are numerous problems trying to get each segment to work (Does anyone that has ever set up a LAN doubt this?)....then finally, service and truck rolls. Lay this scenario over a company where there are little fractions, each promoting their part of the service, digital TV rollout (trying to win over those that would go with satilite) against broadband internet against the standard TV offerings. Remember these are cable guys, most of the Comcast employees that I talked with on the TV side knew nothing about the @Home side and basically acted like they were annoyed to even have it brought up (low tech backlash).
