Now I agree that everyone should have access to broadband but this raises many questions for me.

Why can't the rich get access to gigabit while the poor has access to a few megabit?

Just like ten years ago, when the rich had access to megabit and the poor used kilobit access.

Or ten years before that, when the richest could pay for high kilobit access while the poor were stuck to dialup low kilobit access.

I don't understand what's wrong with a long term rollout plan that finances the future scale with large costs to those willing to pay them.

Is it wrong because it's a utility? Why aren't we up in arms about the non-megabit (or barely megabit) non-low-latency access that so much of rural america is already stuck with?

I just don't get this. Fiber will get cheaper, but only if we train tens thousands about it in smaller rollouts while building up the supply side with increasingly larger rollouts.
