equipment to fire up a 10 gig run of fiber is very very expensive.
ISP's have the equipment to do that at present. All it would take is a blade addition to their present router.
10Gbps interface was just an example, though. I was merely trying to show that transport capacity exist for many providers to be able to reach the "last mile" without everyone needing to make the run themselves.
Take this into account for a second. Router is acting flaky in a region. Let's say new york. They have no spare slots in their router for a new add in or the back plane is already saturated now the guy goes looks and say s wow shit we got a problem we don't have the capacity room here. So instead the just pile on more subs.
Next week when another 10 k customers come on the load is bringing the router to it's knees the back plane is so saturated that the pings are shooting up into the 500 range.
So the router is already tanking and only thing you can do to relieve the stress is trunk a couple ports and slide in another router they now have to plan for the future of fiber and go sink 150 k into a router. 10 k into a decent card and they take the load off the first by splitting its cards with the ones below it. Fcc gets on them because a couple t3's go down.
Pay the fines. You now in the hole a couple grand. Plus you got the companies who line is down chasing you for money all because some one said hey let's just throw a card in and add capacity. The networking world just doesn't work on a whim. People called engineers go in and analyze the traffic to make sure they get the best bang for the buck. And those people don't work cheap. Add those guys into the fray and now your pipe is costing quite a bit of money to maintain.
Now ross Not to mention the fiber you have laid as a backbone is carrying competitors data for little to no profit. Why is this ILEC propaganda ? Because it doesn't match what you want to see ? Why don't you instead of putting on your anti big business hat go and read about other countries with a "monopoly" on the carriers. Japan had one for awhile, Korea, Sweden.. There is more. The governments in those cases helped feed the company money to roll out fiber this isn't the case in our country.
The CLECs are even shown in ILEC's tax pages as being little to no profit. Not enough to completely swap to and still maintain the network I believe was the phrase used. So why would I as a company want to lay fiber for $5 billion and let you come in and use it for $5 per month... Ohh wait yeah 500 years down the line it will be paid off your right it's a hell of a deal and the ILEC's are nuts for not jumping on the bandwagon and bending over for you to have competition.
