I was poking around to see what the current received wisdom was as to average install cost per building for suburban municipal home-run fiber, and ran across this article, which discusses the topic, and itemizes several large such deployments that "failed" or had to be sold private.

Subject: RE: Level 3 Communications Issues Statement Concerning Comcast's Actions Reminder: ITIF is an ultra-conservative, anti-government outfit: http://mailman.nanog.org/pipermail/nanog/2009-November/015552.html ITIF doesn't give out information about its funding, which usually means it's industry lobbyist funded. Apparently in this case, big cable and probably big telco.
