Re: Can someone explain why they cant make smaller cabinets?

said by r81984:

I can't understand why in some neighborhoods they would be lazy and put these in peoples front yards.
I doubt it is laziness. The VRAD needs to be as close to the copper distribution cabinet (SAI, "cross-connect", "B-Box"; whatever you wish to call it) as possible. The VRAD is the neighborhood terminus of the fiber; it has to convert to copper somewhere, for the "Last Mile" distribution. I suspect a lot of it has to do with communities which allowed the SAIs to be placed in locations which the neighbors currently find offensive.
