Is it costing you that considering all costs (last mile, transport, NOC)? Or just your last mile cost?
I know an MTU building can be connected /spliced into street fiber for as little as $700 in parts/labor, including only the time start to finish installing it. (not all the beurocracy and planning time) There are numerous respected people in this industry that have pitched an average Fiber deployment to cost around $20/mon per sub over 20 years. That could mean alot of different things. I'd be interested in hearing more about what you deliver for $1000/ sub?

Good thing it only costs me about $1K per sub. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Tom DeReggi" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "WISPA General List" <[email protected]> Sent: Thursday, August 21, 2008 1:59 PM Subject: Re: [WISPA] Fiber Costs Interesting arcticle. What so many forget is that Fiber does not just cost $4000 per sub to Verizon, it costs $17 /month per subscriber. There is a big difference. Long term beneift is undisputed. The problem a small provider has to ask is... How do they fund it. Its also important to note though that the $4000/sub accounts for all costs for full Fiber end to end. It can cost much less for a partial hybrid fiber deployment that is cherry picked.

Verizon rejected cheaper broadband alternatives and decided to build the fiber system at an estimated cost of about $4,000 for every customer. -- Charles Wyble (818) 280 - 7059 http://charlesnw.blogspot.com CTO Known Element Enterprises / SoCal WiFI project -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- WISPA Wants You!
