Summary: Fiber to the home in the U.S. market has not been deployed as rapidly as many had hoped or predicted. We examine some of the historical, competitive, and economic reasons for this. We argue that, from a competitive service perspective, it may be difficult to construct compelling business cases for large-scale deployment without either a technical need for fiber, or significant changes in either public policy or industrial organization.
