Costs same or less

Here is information I found on the cost of fiber. It's less than you imagine in comparison to wireless. It could be that fiber is the cheaper alternative. Wireless is competitive with free siting, but not if they had to pay for it. Telecoms promote wireless to get out of regulations and to use non-union works. ( The use of non-union works didn't gain traction in my area. Nation telecom union have wireless works in the union so they didn't want to take sides. )

Also, I heard the cost of fiber was comparable to the cost of wireless in a residential neighborhood by Mitsuko Herrera, Montgomery County telecom employee, in the Montgomery County hearing to our council. It's on video if you need it.
