I am a big proponent of muni-owned dark fiber networks. I want to be 100% clear about what I advocate here: - Muni-owned MMR space, fiber only, no active equipment allowed. A big cross connect room, where the muni-fiber ends and providers are all allowed to colocate their fiber term on non-discriminatory terms.
- 4-6 strands per home, home run back to the muni-owned MMR space. No splitters, WDM, etc, home run glass. Terminating on an optical handoff inside the home.
Hmmm. I tend to be a Layer-2-available guy, cause I think it lets smaller players play. Does your position (likely more deeply thought out than mine) permit Layer 2 with Muni ONT and Ethernet handoff, as long as clients are *also* permitted to get a Layer 1 patch to a provider in the fashion you suggest? (I concur with your 3-pair delivery, which makes this more practical on an M-A-C basis, even if it might require some users to have multiple ONTs...) Cheers, -- jra -- Jay R.
