I believe the $500-$700 would include an ONT, if required, but
nothing beyond that. "Hook up" would include installing a home
gateway, testing, setting up WiFi, installing TV boxes, etc.
So in the model I advocate, the muni-network would have $500-$700/home
to get fiber into the prem, and the L3-L7 service provider would
truck roll a guy and supply the equipment that comprise another
$500-$700 to turn up the customer.
In Google Fiber's model they are both, so it's probably $1000-$1400
a home inclusive. $1400 @4% for 10 years is $14.17 a month per
house passed.
