Chuck,
Dug up some of my costs on the GPON. One port with a C+ class
laser and a 1x32 splitter cost me about $1000.
So if I stick with my 50% utilization numbers, that gets me about
$62 per user. Plus an indoor ONT gets me about $200-$225 per
customer for electronics. As I increase my utilization, the
numbers get better. But, we are only talking a different in a
few months on the ROI. Remember we are debating fiber. I have
ONT's out there over 72 months old. I'm sure Chuck has some at
least 2 or 3 years older than that. I don't plan on any type of
major upgrade for several years.
But I must stress there is no right answer. AE vs GPON. You
need to make sure you fully understand both options before making
a decision. Not to mention, you can run both. We are setup to
do AE, We currently have 2 customers on the AE side for various
reasons vs 2500 on the GPON side.

When doing full throttle Calix GPON we have about $570 invested
in cpe electronics, splitter, ont/olt/onu etc. Everything but
fiber and outdoor cabinets.
When doing active Ethernet you can come in closer to $100 per
customer.
For non regulated greenfield, I am having a hard time convincing
myself to do PON.

Are you using splitters in splice cases or in cross connect

Adam,
There are some ranging things you have to consider. "The
requirement
when deploying ONTs are the maximum distance between two ONTs
cannot
exceed 20Km."
The way we have done this is to reuse fibers as we travel down
long stretches of roads between neighborhoods.
We will deploy a 1x32 splitter in the field. We will splice that
into the last 3 ribbons/tubes of our fiber. Example, if we were
using a 144 count cable, ribbons 10-12 will be spliced into.
After a few miles depending on density or distance, we will
splice in another 1x32 splitter to ribbons 10-12. We just keep
doing this until we run out of light budget.
We build to the lots passed, so we are not trying to optimize max
usage per port. Currently, we average about 50% utilization on
our ports.

Maybe I need to review the math.
I was figuring on several small splitters along the route. I
didn't compare to a 1x32 in the cabinet because I figured if I
brought every fiber back to the cabinet then I didn't save
anything versus ethernet.

Adam,
How far are you going? We are pushing almost 20 miles on a 1x32
split. Are you using one 1x32 or multiple smaller splitters?

I'm looking at rural areas (like a few houses per mile). As I'm
looking at hypothetical power budgets for PON, I'm finding that
if I run the line down the road and put splitters on the pole I
can split 5-6 times and then I'm getting too low on db to keep
going down the road. At 5 or so houses per port, a 1U, 8 port
ONT is no denser than a 1U switch.
Your stated reasons for PON are all correct. The numbers just
aren't seeming to work out for me.
I also figure if I install enough fibers for AE, I can still
switch to PON some day if I want to.
We would never max out the PON port, but looking back on the past
15 years of growth in consumption I wonder if I should ever say
"never". In AE I can put 100Gig in every house if I have to.
I'll "never" have to do that as far as I can imagine, but my
imagination could be limited.

A few reasons...
Port cost is still fairly high.
More splicing.
More fiber required.
Larger chassis required.
More power required.
More battery backup required.
Consumers not even close to using up 1-2 generations back of PON
capacity in most places.

In light of finding out that Calix's offering is not going to be
anywhere near within budget, does anyone else have any other
suggestions?
I found these guys, but have never heard of them:

<http://www.richerlink.com/en/products.asp?ClassID=116>
It looks like DASAN also has an option - I've at least heard of
them:
