how does that contrast that with what GP said

> The service will be fully subscriber-funded and end up making the town money in several years.

seems like an a business lots of private operators would be interested in building.

Not a lot of private operators may be interested in a business that (is projected) to break even in say seven years.

Not sure what OP meant by "several years" but avg business like restaurents/bars take "several years" to break even but OP is saying its actually going to turn profits. 7 years isn't a long time at all to become profitable.
