But why would the goal be fiber to every household? There are other ways to deliver good internet. In fact all of the major platforms can do so: fiber, coax, DSL, fixed wireless, 4G / 5G. The fiber platform will do so naturally, the others may require some extra investment but are still options.
Of course there are developing countries where the goal is any internet at all. I hope that is not the case for US broadband.
