You might look into what's being done in Sweden then, here there are municipality networks who dig up the streets and does fiber to the individual house in "suburbia" (you have to trench your own land though, 4dm deep, 1-2dm wide, they only dig in the street put down the pipe in your trench).
Sounds good, though I don't see a majority of US consumers paying for the trench, nor do I see a lot of home builders paying for it either (around here they often skimp on putting in a real road, so the city forces the road to be private which leaves it a wonderful unmaintained gravel speed bump, much less wiring housing for data).
In addition, I don't see the municipalities paying for plant like they do roads. Then again, I'm glad the city/county doesn't pay for our plant. They can barely maintain their roads. Politics, education, and how money flows in our economy are all probably show stoppers for widespread success.
