Or, it could be an opportunity for a heck of a good partnership and infrastructure cost-sharing. especially if you add in water/gas/electric meter reading with the utilities as partners. Generally I think these markets are very low density (i.e very costly per household, including for the utilities).
Yeah, I know, that spirit of cooperation and mutual-benefit-seeking business model is a fantasy.
re: However, the likelihood of new fiber builds at this time attaining funding levels required for meaningful, far-flung deployments, especially after something like this has become available, will probably diminish precipitously for some existing and many future fiber-based initiatives, for some time to come, IMO.
Certainly possible, but that would indicate an incredibly flimsy biz case. All rural areas have to contend with future 700MHz, white space, 3.65GHz, and AWS-1 deployments as an overhanging cloud |
