Hi Jason,
Is there any public information that is accurate and breaks out the
sustaining and opex costs of an ISP, along with the trend lines of each
sub category?

If you think the BEAD rules are a lot, of course just bear in mind the
follow-on compliance needs w/r/t Title-II. ;-) In any case, having
spoken at some recent BEAD events, my focus has been on trying to get
folks to think "beyond the build" so to speak. What I mean is that the
main focus has been on the initial physical build. That is of course
critical in these rural and other unserved locations, but is often the
easy part in a way. Sustaining ongoing network operations and all that
operating an ISP these days involves is a bigger deal and likely more
complex than many perceive.

Prior to NN coming back into view, I was primarily trying to put some
sense into the BEAD processes and priorities.
I strongly approved of the idea of the central government handing the
issues for the states to try and handle, they are just as understaffed
and low on clue technologically, and I figured the odds were oh, 7 out
of 50 that might establish good programs for it.
I have now seen a few nice proposals funded, including one up in main
that connects to canada. But oh! the profusion of rules required, to
seek to do a build out, only covering CAPEX, in each state, is hard to
get through, and I think, like many here, we wish it would go away.
Hereś some if you wish to while away a lazy friday afternoon. Pick one
randomly. Let us know if you see anything good, or sane, or hilareous,
or horrible?
