Well he never did understand $42B won't get every single house fiber. It's also a requirement to connect *EVERY* location.
I think it's great to spend money on fiber. But those last 1-20% of homes where it's $50k/passing it makes no sense to fiber when you can build a couple of towers or even do some Starlink. Starlink is great for very remote but man $120/mo for 50-150 mbps that gets slower every year...
