Re: Residential FTTH ftth- Good point. The services you describe are also part of any FTTH rollout(or should be). I was talking about data only and neglected the other services. Your monthly subscription rates are more accurate. For archive sake, I'm posting the blurb below as I think it could be a base from which to understand somewhat how expensive it is to see up a FTTH residential network: November 13, 2000: Faced with only two responsive bids at $640k and $750k--Over the $380k target for 100 homes, CPAU proposes that for an additional $300k of city funds CPAU itself should do the infrastructure buildout -- but limited to 70 homes. The revised service area is shown above. Wow. 70 homes for $680K. That makes it $9,714/home! I understand that it's not a totally fair comparison(since the number of homes is so small). And I wonder what this cost includes. Just running the fiber with the associated PON equipment, right? If so, is it really that expensive? -MikeM(From Florida)
