I’d be ecstatic if ISPs laid more fiber where I live. But I’d be even happier if they laid any sort of internet cables at all to the outskirts of towns. Back where my family used to live (smaller town) there were plenty of houses on the outskirts of town that don’t have any internet unless they pay out the nose for satellite. It’s literally not worth the ISP’s money to lay any sort of cable out that way since there isn’t enough customer density for the amount of cable they’d need to lay.
The fun part is that the US tax payer already paid the ISPs to lay cable to those houses, but they just pocketed the money, didn’t lay the cable, and faced no consequences.
Orbital pollution and atmosphere pollution from the launches. All to avoid laying some fiber :/
