Re: Dark fiber - recurring charges
said by Raven1275  :building some of our own which could potentially be sub leased. A forum member has some experience in building dark fiber networks overseas - I will ask him to elaborate on the technical aspects. Anyway we briefly explored feasibility of a private fiber run to the nearest town (Perth, ON) which has existing fiber PoP. Essentially you have to string "hybrid aerial" fiber that comes from China on existing and new poles.
The material and labour costs are reasonable BUT ... you have to negotiate per-pole rental fees with a whole bunch of farmers and rural municipalities. That will determine your recurring cost for the dark fiber run - the rest will be the bandwidth cost at the source where you connect - if they allow you to connect!
I am not familiar with your Island Pond, VT location but there is a massive capacity fiber run going through Burlington to Montreal. |
