Designers and builders need to have vision for the future.

Nice anology but the bridge is hard to upgrade (so they built the tunnel) whereas FTTN can become FTTH as and when required/justified (or you can pay to connect if you want it now) so this is not an either or choice. This is more like you having a quad width driveway while the bridge is left at 2 lanes. Oh yes, even worse, you HAVE to have your driveway upgraded - even if you only have one car....
