I think these two graphs are interesting. Fiber and low prices for broadband seems to be correlated (Japan, Korea). Unfortunately there isn't more data points in the Economist graph.
I think it helps if the fiber is owned by a party other than the access provider, e.g. the community or city, to avoid having a monopoly squeeze out all the consumer surplus.

How will this work with Google Fiber?
