If the local ILEC or a resident wants to force the issue, I think the developer will have to grant them access to all public utility easements etc.

No CPE, no enclosure, no drop, no sfp. Say $2500/customer. Say you clear $40/month. 40*12=480 480/2500 = 19.2% return from day one forever. What kind of mutual fund will give you a return like that?

And your initial penetration rate will be far, far less than 100% of homes for monthly services. Even after 3-4 years a significant percentage may never sign up. Where's the ROI?

So 46 handholes. 1.25” between all handholes. .75” duct from each handhole to each dwelling for drops. You can run 144 count fiber for spares. Drop down to 96 or 48 count as it tapers going down the runs. You will need a cabinet with a distribution panel, electronics, batteries. It will need power. To go cheap, use a large cisco router with SFPs ports and SFP to each dwelling with a media converter at the ends. Or put in Calix. You can go GPON or Active. With something this small, I would do Active. You will have $150 to $200K in before you are done.

Is there anyone on this list who would like to consult with us so that we can get the plan done right from the get go? The developer will be doing all the trenching and conduit etc., we will be doing all the electronics and customer service etc. Best regards, Sean
