My grandmother's house got fiber this way in sleepy rural Minnesota. They were digging up and replacing all of the streets in town and laying fiber (including the runs to the home) as they went. It seemed really smart to me.

I have to admit I was pretty surprised to go down into her basement for a jar of homemade pickles and seeing an ONT bolted to the wall. She doesn't even have a computer or cable TV, it was only providing POTS. It's going to be quite the perk for whomever moves in after she dies though.
