They'll have to pay $1,200 for fiber installation plus $45 a month for 10Mbps, or $2,400 plus $100 per month for 100Mbps, plus Internet service provider charges

It would seem to me that FTTH for the consumer right now is a little like owning an HDTV 5 years ago. You paid way too much for it, and nobody broadcasted in it.

However:
Sierra Pacific (along with Hewlett-Packard and Oracle) will roll out FTTH Internet at 10Mbps for $13.95 per month

Now, $13.95 a month? Wow. That would solve the price side, but: Do the apps fuel the bandwidth or does the bandwidth fuel the apps?

On a side note, it would be foolish for SP to charge only 13.95/mnth. Why play like you are in a mature service/industry, when its still a baby?

Regards
Jay
