Re: Why stop at very healthy profits? It only becomes cheaper every year if you stop putting money into upgrading the infrastructure that provides the bandwidth.
After GPON, they're going to need 10GPON, then 100GPON. Those upgrades aren't free, and must be considered part of the bandwidth cost.
And that's not even including upgrading their backbone links to multiple 100Gbit connections to serve the 10GPON and 100GPON nodes.
The cost of bandwidth itself goes down (at a very slow pace recently) but the cost of upgrades to deliver more bandwidth to the end user does not go down, and is variable compared to bandwidth costs. |
