very good question ! In fact, this will be one of the last bequests of the sovereign state: the quality of the Telecom infrastructure and its resilience. For the AI and these dependencies to work, you need, among other things, cheap data, even free data, so efficient and amortized structures, only a strong sovereign state can make the ISPs bend. If a sovereign state has solved this problem, the very concept of megalopolis is dead

Starlink solves this. Maybe not it's exact current version, but the idea of mega constellations. And of course, existing fiber isn't going anywhere

starlink is too expensive and subject to too much human uncertainty, when it comes to fiber: there are areas not covered
