That's true for any given network topology up to the limit of capacity. On cable plant, node splitting does incur significant costs.May cable companies who built their fiber optic network with 200-500 customers per RF node are now finding they have to reduce that density. They don't have enough feeder fiber in their network to accommodate.
They have a few choices: 1) overlash more fiber, 2) use more WDM, 3) build more pop sites.
The incremental cost of delivering that one package above what the truck will hold is a doozie. It requires the delivery company to buy bigger trucks, or buy more trucks and run smaller routes.

Once you build the capacity to reach every delivery point every-day it's maybe not enough to hope that people utilize that facility . decreasing the cost per package requires higher unit volume. The incremental cost of delivering the second package is much lower than the first.
