   Sorry you think the truth is nasty, but the ratepayers belonging to that   
   rural cooperative are NOT the ones paying for your infrastructure. That   
   would be paid for by a surcharge on fees on everyone else's phone bills   
   elsewhere in the country.   
      
   Do you really believe there's a business case for building a fiber plant in   
   a rural area?
