READING COMPREHENSION IS HARD

Suddenly everyone sees infrastructure as a way to milk cash from whoever they can, and the guys who invested in it at the right time can compete way more effectively with people trying to break in. The city I live in managed to make an assload off the FIOS guys because they required a city work crew to stand around with stop signs and road cones while they put fiber up on the poles.

Bingo. Growth in my area came to a complete standstill when the city figured out they could up rates for underground and aerial permits and now none of the ISPs will start new builds unless they've got guaranteed multi-year contracts so they're not completely hosed on costs.
