He doesn't care

Heck he makes money anyway you look at it. look at South Korea they started with nothing and built what they have they didn't have the 120 year old infrastructure to contend
with as it is in this country. That isn't making excuses it just the facts.

The Should Do -and The Should Not Do

JB's answer to my question was politically quite correct.

Perhaps I should have asked what they should not do such as cheer leading one technology in particular as they have done with BPL. I can certainly see that the FCC will not cheer lead Fiber if the special interest groups funding the FCC still wish to sell current broadband data rates or lesser and more problematic ones from pseudo-competitors in anticipation of their own fiber "low hanging fruits" slow rollout.

At that rate the USA will soon fall from 10th in "broadband" deployment to 20th. I think the current ideology is that munies fiber rollouts are some kind of a commie threat to the existing private commercial rollout scheme.

Thanks to Karl for an other excellent interview.
