think of it this way....
RG, similar thoughts, economics usually takes care of itself when left to their own devices. When Metrocast signed the original agreement you can be sure they calculated all the costs and benefits of the contract. Their financial interests have been well served by having the agreement and servicing the town. The cost (or risk of cost) was calculated into the benefit from the larger service agreement at the beginning and they knew full well that one of the potential costs would be to add service to lower density areas as those areas developed. There were plenty of benefits built into their economic model to account for this.
I believe your concern is valid except they signed a lucrative agreement and this was part of the negotiations.
