:The narad whitepapers stated it depends on how you want it.
It did not say anything about wiring fiber to the curb.
the whitepapers stated that was an option.
What would have to be done is put equipment at the node/tap and home.
Not a singe thing of laying fiber clsoer has to be done.
notice how the article states "For high-capacity residential broadband, the switch can be used in fiber-to-the-curb network designs, imitating passive optical network (PON) systems but at a lower cost, according to Narad. For fiber-to-the-curb applications, the Narad switches can be placed at existing coax cable taps where the fiber meets the coax connection to the customer. "
Notice CAN BE USED FOR FIBER TO THE CURB
It can also be done without replacing the existing coax with fiber.
If they dont do fiber to the curb then they can't offer all customers anywhere near 100Mbps/100Mbps.
