That has not been demonstrated in the market. There are lots of people who say this, generally they're involved in building fiber plants, but in the US and Canada I've not seen a single report of an actual network where this was true. Do you have any documentation to this effect? I will also acknowledge that we don't have a large sample size in the US of plants built this way.
I never said there was installed base for this in north america. I have no knowledge of this. But I guess from your question that you wan to limit the discussion to what is commercially available today, which is a totally different question compared to what is best in the long run.
I know the service exists here in Stockholm, Sweden. Here we don't have Telcos who sue municipality networks for providing L1 and L2 services to anyone who wants to buy them.
However, the pricing model can still be worked on. Here it costs approximately 10 USD per month to rent this fiber from the central plant to the customer, meaning ISPs who have a lot of customers in a single place still opt to just rent a single operator fiber and then terminate the building fiber plant at the curb or in the building, instead of at the central (CO) plant when they light up multi-tenant buildings.
