| power in numbers all of the small providers should make one big consortium so that they can at least get good negotiating power for next gen FTTP equipment. deep last mile fiber will most likely be the solution for *MOST* suburban builds, with wireless repeaters pushing out to rural areas. i can't think of a reason why a density of 5-50 customers would *NEED* FTTP/N/C-- Doesn't make sense. A series of wireless repeaters and cheap dsl remote terminals should be completely acceptable to the ruralist of the builds.
In times past, strict limits on where a company could build it's network (particularly telcos) seemed to hamstring rural builds. This is by-in-large not the case anymore (the modern duopoly reconfiguration underway not withstanding).. so if a rural customer wants service and is willing to pay a reasonable surcharge, they should be allowed "IN" to an adjacent build. |
