Re: Fiber Network Equipment Commercial Norms

Fiber in a building adds 8% to the value of that building.  Half-penny pinching “mah powah” landlords are especially 
annoying in a cosmic sense - and just make me want to replace them.

The telecommunications act of 1934 permits telcos to enter a building with their equipment. 

I’d upgrade the MPOE do a datacenter with 2N generators and UPS - then upsell them colo.
