Fiber costs per meter are not linear with population density.

>>The net result is that in order to use fibre as the backhaul medium, lateral runs from the nearest fibre point of presence must be installed in the vast majority of cases. The cost of these lateral fibre runs are proportional to the distance, and the cost per meter is proportional to the population density - highest in the city centers where demand for 3G+ and 4G services is greatest.<<
