It's growing, quickly. Others are entering this space, their main obstacle (besides the cost of running fiber) is that so many buildings have signed exclusivity agreements with comcast which have questionable legality. The economics make it easier to do in a city.. pay $20k to run fiber to a building with 1100 units, sell 25% of those units at $35/month, you gross $120k/year from that building. You probably have another $10k-$12k in equipment costs per building as well, but this sort of a network is quite simple to run. This sort of connectivity will never be feasible in the suburbs without massive government subsidies (something I had hoped our current administration would see the value in).
