That's actually untrue - I just remembered that the City of Cape Town
actually does build fibre. It's not very clear to me to what extent they
operate it, particularly beyond supporting municipal departments:

It's possible some other cities are doing the same, but the message I
was pushing is that pretty much all FTTx of note going into homes,
businesses and data centres is being built and operated by the private
sector.
