I believe you may have misunderstood. The PON IS the distribution point - it is a "prism" like technology that can be used in place of a more expensive DWDM for getting multi-user use out of a single lambda. So, while each home does get a fiber run they'll be using ... say... 10Mbs or 100 Mbps of the lambda's 10G capacity. here. This might help. lightreading.com PONs: Passive Aggression Introduction There's a gap in today's carrier networks. And it's keeping service providers and their customers apart. It's the old "last mile" problem, on steroids. Business customers want higher bandwidth services and carriers have most of the infrustructure in place to deliver them. There's only one thing holding everything up - a low cost method of providing access lines between the carrier's central office and user sites. Enter the PON--Passive Optical Network. With PONs, one access line can be shared among multiple buildings--and it can be done at a minimal cost. That's because PONs use low-cost components that don't require a lot of care and upkeep. As a result, PONs cost a fraction of what it takes to run new fiber or rework existing Sonet (synchronous optical network) rings.
