| "Homes passed" Okay, so I've gotten tired of misunderstanding the term "homes passed" just like I've gotten tired of incorrect usage of "POPs" when talking about wireless coverage.
To set the record straight:
Homes passed - A measure of how many homes CAN get a given wireline service
Homes served - A measure of how many homes DO get a given wireline service (if the same as homes passed then the penetration rate is 100%)
POPs covered (or rather pops covered) - The number of people that a given wireless network covers based on population density and signal propagation. NOT "Points of presence" in this case...not even close
POP (point of presence) - A network access point, usually a medium-sized one owned/operated by a single organization
That clear things up for everyone? |
