> With satellite internet from starlink (and I think amazon is attempting their own version?) I don't see how running internet over wires to rural housing could ever be seen as a good expenditure of money.

Couldn't the same be said of expanding the electrical grid, when solar panels and batteries are an option?

Depending on where you are, that's an entirely valid option IMO... There are lots of houses with septic tanks without centralized sewers.
