frank,

Do you know of a multiplexer that is available in production which will deliver TV, internet and phone? If so what does it cost? Say the subscriber has a $100 per month bill. Add your upgraded outside plant costs at $1500 per subscriber and you just paid $3000 per subscriber. Please add in the headend multiplex equipment as well. Also figure the cost of money at around 13%. Throw in payroll and expenses.

My point is there is not alot of margin to justify the expense of FTTH.... where is the money gonna come from?

AOL has a problem with churn, as long as their churn rate stays in the 2-4% range per month (I haven't seen any figures for several months), their N. American subs growth will soon come to a screeching halt.

I would expect to see AOL pursuing strategies aimed specifically at reducing churn.
