Fine.  Save your money and leave the market to the likes of Verizon.  I'm sure
they won't mind.  But hey, you couldn't see a return on the investment, so it
made perfect sense at the time.

I'd be curious to know what the expense is, really.  The ground is already torn
up, you're already running cable.  I'd think it was a relatively small
incremental amount, overall.  That, versus tearing up all those finished lawns
and roads once someone comes up with a business plan that shows ROI.
