Re: What defines a "cluster"?
Whatever defines it, there are about 50 houses near me in a 4 or 5 mi area, so I hope it is about 4 or 5mi. |

| Hmmm. That might stretch the definition of a cluster. Even if that was an acceptable cluster, where does the fiber terminate? The geographic center of the 4-5 mile area? What good does that do those dwellings without additional investment in last-mile infrastructure? Even if they terminated the fiber near some sort of POTS line interconnect, there still needs to be additional hardware to traverse the remaining 10,000 feet and bring some kind of connection to the dwellings.
This smells like a way to prompt AT&T to do what it should have had done by now -- run more fiber out from the CO to eliminate the distance limitations of their copper plant. |
