----- Original Message -----From: "Keenan Tims" <ktims () stargate ca>If we assume that a residential deployment pulls one strand (or perhaps a pair) to each prem, similar to current practice for POTS, there's a resource allocation problem if I want to buy TV services from provider A and Internet services from provider B (or maybe I want to provision a private WAN to my place of work). This could be done with WDM equipment by the muni in the L1 model, or at L2, but it isn't something that's often mentioned. I suspect L2 wins here, at least on cost. Or are we going forward under the assumption that all of this will be rolled into "the Internets" and delivery that way and competition in that space will be sufficient?I was planning AE, and to deploy 3 pair per drop, except on multiunit building, where my overbuild ratio would be between 1.6 and 1.2 or so.
Heh, great minds think alike, as I was contemplating the same issue that Keenan raised. My number of pairs was 5 though ... 1 each for TV, Phone, and Internet providers, 1 as a spare in case something breaks, and 1 for the thing that hasn't been invented yet. The thinking being that strands of dark fiber are cheaper then retrenching, etc.
