Not really. Early versions of fiber were much larger diameter.
I worked for a company that had implemented fiber internally back in the
80s, but could not use it when the fiber got thinner and none of the new
connectors would work on the old fat stuff.

fiber installed in the 80s is capable of ten gig. the infrastructure

could serve most anybody with good capacity 15 to 20 miles out all day
long. fiber is just some electronics, wireless requires build outs.
not a drop of tax dollar should go to that

Is GPON good enough? That can only do gigabit and each port is
2.5G. Should these projects require NGPON? Or maybe every
location should have AE so they can do 100G to start with.

The director of BEAD quit. He says the previous
rules interpreted the bill to mean that only FTTH
would meet the performance and future-proofing
requirements. He is claiming that there are
proposed rule changes that will allow Starlink but
not allow fixed wireless. I don't know whether
the changes /intentionally/ benefit Starlink, but
this guy is crying foul and felt strongly enough
about it to resign over it.

I’m surprised BEAD hasn’t run into problems
because the E stands for Equity and DEI is now banned.
But if they eliminate the E, would it just be BAD?
