Some municipalities in my area are already addressing this problem. I used to live in the Silicon Forest, and they (Verizon) tore up all of our streets for the installation of a FIOS network. I would assume the spread of upgrades to FIOS will be similar to that of dial-up-->cable/DSL. More densely populated areas with more industrial/commercial customers that require FIOS to conduct business will get FIOS first, but it will inevitably spread. It's already started to branch out in the Portland area, from originally Hillsboro to surrounding environs, as cities allow for their streets to be cut up to install FIOS.
