Getting that fiber into every individual home is the hard part, the last mile where the cost and complexity per connection is highest and where the aggregate infrastructure investment cannot easily scale.

There have been at least five major waves of digital transformation in the past three decades, each of which was predicted to displace fax as a business communication channel. EHR adoption was supposed to replace it. Health information exchanges were supposed to replace it. Secure email was supposed to replace it. Unified communications platforms were
