Well, here in Germany, we screwed up so many things up concerning  
telecommunications, and now we have to pay the price.
(In the 80s, because of "personal interests" of some politicians,  
copper cables were preferred over fiber and a nationwide cable TV  
system was established. Phone cables also stayed in copper, but at  
least the system went digital (ISDN).
After the counter-revolution in the GDR and after we bought the  
country, the phone system in east Germany was rebuilt using fiber, but  
later we had to add copper for DSL (as the fiber technology was  
different from the newer one) instead of updating the fiber tech.
As everything had been privatized, this was logical as it was cheaper  
in the current quarter...
And the mobile phone frequencies that were auctioned from the state  
were really expensive, so that also counts on the price tag of  
everything in the telco business...)

Oh, and my connection isn't fiber, but copper DSL.
I don't know if fiber is even available here...

In another part of the city, the municipal services are searching for  
fiber (FTTH) clients, but it also won't be cheap and you'll only get a  
"dual stack lite" connection :-(

Regards,
Anna
