The building owner is another source for this investment.  Verizon  
says connecting my home will cost roughly $1,000.  I would gladly pay  
that if it meant I could get IP connectivity for anywhere near what  
people in Stockholm, Tokyo, Seoul, Hong Kong or other low-cost cities  
pay.  I would see it as a capital improvement -- raising the value of  
my house -- not an expense.

I own my own sewer, water and gas lines and call a plumber when there  
is a problem.  I would be happy to own my fiber as well.
