Here's an article with some economics from several different deployments: http://fastnetnews.com/fiber-news/175-d/4835-fiber-economics-quick-and-dirty Looks like $500-$700 in capex per residence is the current gold standard. Note that the major factor is the take rate; if there are two providers doing FTTH they are both going to max at about a 50% take rate. By having one provider, a 70-80% take rate can be driven.
I was seeing 700 to drop, and another 650 to hook up; is that 5-700 supposed to include an ONT?
Even with us a 4%, 10 year government bond, a muni network could finance out a $700/prem build for $7.09 per month! Add in some overhead and there's no reason a muni-network couldn't lease FTTH on a cost recovery bases to all takers for $10-$12 a month (no Internet or other services included).
This is the class of numbers I was hoping to get to, yeah. Cheers, -- jra -- Jay R. Ashworth Baylink jra () baylink com Designer The Things I Think RFC 2100 Ashworth & Associates http://baylink.pitas.com 2000 Land Rover DII St Petersburg FL USA #natog +1 727 647 1274
