But in reality those 16k hold a very small part of the population. Them existing is not a reason you could not have fiber available for the majority of the population (and for cheap like 100mbit unlimited for $20 per month)
Here in Finland only 97 towns have over 10k population (out of 310). And this number has gotten “better” over the last couple decades as we joined a bunch of small/dying places together.
Basically for any argument about population density Finland just has a really low density. From western countries only Canada, Iceland and Australia beat us in that.
(Finland is 216 out of 250 worldwide with our 16 per km^2)
