If it is up and nothing more than a bridge, you should be able to do everything 
you want to do from the NOC I would think?  Am I naive?

I have a bias against unmanaged devices.  I want to be able to prove there's 
connectivity all the way to the customer prem without having anyone physically 
there.  For $60-100 you can have a router or a managed switch.

With ethernet is it sufficient to have an "up" on the switch interface?

I also suppose if they're unmanaged they can't be hacked and don't need 
firmware upgrades.  I could be convinced, but like I said, I have a bias.

  It has storage specs to –20C.  Not sure why operating temps are 0C on the 
lower end.  But if it is inside an enclosure it will self heat.  
  $23 plus the $9 SFP.

  $32 plus enclosure.  Pretty low cost per customer doing it this way.  

  I know Sterling uses MTs for much the same thing, but if I remember he cannot 
get the one he likes any longer.
  I like this as there is zero config here.  Dumb media converter.  Put all 
your smarts at your router or switch.
