It was calculated to save about 50 USD per connection (p2p vs p2mp). Why active I don't know, they may not all be. There were probably also other interests which I would love to know about but I wasn't a fly on the wall when those decisions were made.

I should also point out that a lot of this money to expand the fiber network comes from government grants.
