Re: No choice really
said by Lazlow  :I have no doubt that is cheaper, but by how much? If it is only 30% cheaper then it would be more cost effective to go with fiber (again for fresh areas). Fiber cable by itself is a lot more expensive to produce then copper cable. Also with deployment you need to be sure that fiber can never bend at more than a certain degree corner, which makes turning the corner at a pole a little more challenging. Doable no problem, but deploying copper is cheaper by far.
The only reason to deploy fiber now to those new areas is so that they don't have to in 10, 20 years from now and incur the costs twice. |
