The incumbent providers are well aware it is NOT profitable thus are not doing it. It doesn't matter if the feds are offering grants or not, it's all tax payer money that is subsidizing something that is basically a waste of money no matter where it comes from.
Again, as 5G expands that is the way forward not running hard fiber. It goes to show that those that are pushing this stuff are completely ignorant to up and coming technology some of which is a far better solution in the long run.
