Well, we're importing direct from China currently. It's cheap. For example, we bought a demo kit, OLT, 16 of each ONT, Power Supplies, etc...<$5k. Each port is 1:64 capable, and has 8 ports. Essentially we'll probably only do 1:32. Gives us around 200 subs per unit. I think that breaks it down to less than $15. ONTs are <$60.
The engineering design of PON makes construction cheap. We are using a 12 ct drop ($.19/ft) to serve 100 units. Essentially, we'll do a 1x8 PLC with 4 feeders. The 4 feeders repeat this design. Essentially, you can serve 160 units that way. I can reuse the infrastructure over and over and over easily. PLC's are super duper cheap. I pay less than $25 landed cost to me from China, regardless of 1x2-1x32. My biggest cost is construction and machine maintenance.
