Our local ISP tried for years to install fiber in our area and was blocked by the telcos

Bespoke fiber is the very definition of vendor lock-in, and should be banned. The last mile should be government-run, and then the telcos attach to standard points of interconnect, and compete together on a level playing field with equal access. This is what they do in Australia, and it has vastly improved telco competition, and eliminated unnecessary and expensive last-mile fibre runs.

This whole thing (and the language), reminds me of that Team America: World Police scene... which goes something like...
Linus is a "dick" (according to Kent). Bugs are like pussies. And Kent is an asshole. Pussies don't like dicks, because pussies get fucked by dicks. But dicks also fuck assholes. Assholes think they can deal with pussies their way, because because pussies are only an inch and a half away from assholes. The problem with assholes is that sometimes they shit too much or shit when it isn't appropriate — and it takes a dick to show them that. I don't know much in this crazy, crazy world, but I do know that if you don't let this dick fuck this asshole, we're going to have our dicks and pussies all covered in shit!
