Re: $5416 dollars per customer acquisition cost Don't confuse acquisition cost per paying customer with build cost per address passed.
FTTH yields take rates of 30 percent - at $4K/address, thats around $13K per customer.
Charter bought on the cheap. |

| Are you sure you don't have the numbers reversed? Most estimates I've seen put the cost to pass for FIOS at $700 per home with a cost of 4K per paying customer.

In 2006 in NJ the cost to pass is $846 per household with an additional cost to connect of $900.

And yet ANOTHER reason why Verizon jacked up rates.. now $94.95 for entry-level triple play and climbing (Price is right yodeler continues climb up mount Verizon) Sure, price is right for shareholders and profiteers... PFFT!!

My nose is wrinkling. If its $4K/sub, not per address, VZ would be foolish to quit; rents on the 30% take rate (premium buyers, immune to price), minus the union overhead, should be sufficiently attractive to continue expansion. While LTE will be a competitive threat, it won't affect the Fios set. |
