Prior to 1996 it was 100% paid by local customer revenue and NECA long distance 
pooling.

And it depends on how much of the loop is allocated to interstate vs intrastate 
etc.
Some states have intrastate pooling some don’t.  Revenue requirements are made 
out of sausage.  Lots of bits from here and there.

NECA long distance pooling settlements.

Lots of components to filling out the revenue requirement.

Certainly that is a component of the debt service.

How is the loan paid back? That customer's $50/month plan?

No, that is a loan.  Just like everyone else here that needs to borrow to 
build.

You got money from someone that wasn't the customer? That's a subsidy.

Got zero subsidy.  Just earning the same rate of return all the other LECs 
earn.  
It is a cost recovery mechanism, not a subsidy.  
It replaced the super high long distance charges of times past.

If you plowed 20 miles of fiber for one house, you can bet your ass a WISP 
would do the same.

Depends on what you call rural.  I have served areas with perhaps 1 house every 
5 miles.  You are not going to find a wisp willing to build out in areas like 
that.  I plowed 20 miles of fiber for one single house.

If WISPA does their job well, small business can more effectively service the 
rural markets than the telcos, for alot less money

        These should all be fiber fed. Any new DSLAM's with CAF funding are 
very likely fiber fed. They just can't support the bandwidth requirements with 
only bonded T1's anymore.

          One would suspect a calix e7-2 or e7-20 (2Tbps backplane, 100Gbps

E7-2s I've used in the past though :)

              Exactly. Calix VDSL2 Remote DSLAM. These are the result of CAF 
funding from Govt. to provide minimum 10/1 Mbps speeds to the census blocks 
they took funding for. 

              If Centurylink had crappy or no DSL in these areas before, expect 
them to be able to offer somewhat functional to excellent DSL speeds to 
customers in range of these remote DSLAMs. For really close customers, they may 
see up to 40/1 Mbps speeds.
