Vermont now has 10 Gbps internet for $400 per month

Amazing business decision.

• total population of Vermont is 626k
• versus Los Angeles County is 10.02m

No product every gets a total monopoly (or 100% of the market) so the revenue expected is well south of $400 * 626k where as a 10% market share of Los Angeles County would be
$400 * 1m

And then there's the price point of $400 - - IMO, that drives the acceptance rate close to NIL (unless some other executive that is equally insane).

The whole thing smacks of a pork barrel project. The "bridge to nowhere" has been done to death, so it's been replaced by the, "internet to nowhere". And it goes nowhere in a big, big hurry....
