I would earnestly like to hear how this is a solution.

As i see it from the most realistic standpoint, given that somebody has to install and maintain it there simply isn't enough real-world interest in going beyond the current mega corp investment structure we have now. Tell me which local elected council will earmark tens of thousands for locals to dig into the ground and install infrastructure like that and which locals are actually likely to do it, and do it well.

While I agree in principle, I just don't see it actually happening.
