Deregulation means those lines should be accessible to any company for a fee. How do you give House A Verizon and House B Cox, especially if Cox doesn't support fiber?His general idea was that the homeowner owns conduit and fibre from the house to a shared neighbourhood colo facility, and has rights to some space in that facility. The facility then acts as a junction point between houses inthe neighbourhood (if the neighbours want to connect) or as a place where a service provider could build to in order to deliver service to the homeowner.
I like that idea, except for the problem that I don't want my neighbors to have access to the colo, or at least my feed, but I want access to my feed to I can reboot whatever device is connected there. There would have to be individual locked cages of some standard size so I could access and reboot or change my router out, but could not disconnect or modify my neighbors connection. It would really suck if my router locked up and it was locked in the colo room and I had to wait for someone to let me in to powercycle it. It would also really suck if my neighbor hated me and simply loosened my connection when they felt like it. I'm sure there are solutions to that problem, but moving the demarc line outside the home does bring up new and interesting challenges. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Peter Beckman Internet Guy beckman () angryox com http://www.angryox.com/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
