"I would expect that the local telco would service most high rise buildings in major city markets with fiber. So, the fiber is there, and presumably the telcos can put everyone in the building on fiber."

This is not a safe or accurate assumption to make.

WinStar is expected to be offering service to 8000 buildings nation wide in 1998. Of these, it has been estimated that only 25% will have some other form of broadband communication available, including fiber. Even in a city like New York City, I think you'll find the penetration of fiber optic to be extremely limited and other broadband services very scarce.
