I imagine the total cost of installation and ongoing maintenance of all the infrastructure required for this proposed setup for a substantial amount of urban users dwarfs the equivalent total cost of just installing new cabling and the lobbying required to get that done, especially over a 20 year period.

Don't underestimate lobbying costs in dense urban areas. Whenever you have to deal with people the alternative is often easier.

I highly doubt it would 10x the cost though.
