Frank, perhaps we don't need to see fiber everywhere. First it will go where you can raise most revenue with the least investment in infrastructure. Then -I think- it will percolate downmarket near and near the average customer.

I would like to give the European perspective:

The European market is highly concentrated in just a
few countries and customer segments. The top five
countries (Germany, France, the United Kingdom,
Italy and Spain) generate 75 percent of all European
telecom revenue. Business customers generate
approximately 60 percent of all telecom revenue and
75 percent of EBITDA, allowing for attractive
"cream-skimming" opportunities.

A large percentage of the European market
opportunity is clustered densely in a few regions. While
the top 16 European countries have a total telecom
market opportunity of US$200 billion, the top 50
metropolitan areas in Europe generate nearly US$60
billion of revenue. Business telecom revenue is highly
concentrated in the top 25 financial centers, enabling a
CLEC to address a disproportionately large
percentage of the market with a presence in a small
number of cities.
