Quote from that web site:
'The distribution of population in Japan certainly favours an FTTH
topology. "The service providers are justified in running fibre out to
an apartment building and then distributing the capacity of that fibre
to the many subscribers throughout the building," says Perrin. "What
they are able to do is share the cost of laying that fibre and of that
capacity and certainly bring in revenue from multiple subscribers. This
is much less common in the US, where the population is heavily dispersed."'
This implies serving only the dense population areas.
Just as I thought.
