Re: build the roads That already exists. Every CO in america has fiber going to it. Every town hall has fiber going to it, unless the municipality objects to it. T3s are always fiber. The schools all have fiber because of USF. Town halls have fiber because of anti-terrorism money from DHS for CCTVs around town. What about FO connected traffic lights? Same thing with libraries. All these places already have fiber, either from the cable company (yeah, forgot about them?), the ILEC, or regional ISPs with their own fiber or from the state DOT.
The problem is, none of the business fiber owners want to touch residential customers. Residential customers need hand holding, threaten to sue when they get viruses and slow internet speeds, etc. Businesses will pay big money for useless SLAs (cheaper to just refund the month's service charge than pay overtime for weekend fix). Residential customers won't pay more than $100 a month. Also with residential customers, you need to swallow the construction costs, businesses you can charge $100 an hour engineering charges/cost plus billing to set up their fiber optic service. |
