Hard to compete when local government is so corrupt they won't let you run physical cables to people's homes.
Make local people aware that you want to offer the service and this service can only be offered if the government lets you lay cable.
Start laying cable and offer your people service. Offer them a good deal and ask them to protect your cables in return. You'll be amazed how good communities are at protecting their assets, provided they realize the benefit of keeping it in shape.
Then bring those people in front of government to vouch for you.
Fibers are somewhat fragile, but not the complete cable. But the splicing necessary for local distribution will be hard to do on a mast top.
