Cones, hard hat, vest, and a hook (maybe a party light and a borrowed ladder on your truck for good measure) costs under $400. The real cost of the fiber is not the cable, it's securing the path using underground or aerial construction. In our shop's mostly-rural service area, that's over 80% of the cost of a build versus fiber cable, splicing or CPE hardware. Urban areas is even higher percentage. Of course providers need proper engineering and electronics to maintain service coverage if somebody does cut your stuff. I can think of a few shops where this is the toughest part. -D On Fri, Apr 10, 2009 at 3:05 PM, Carlos Alcantar <carlos () race com> wrote:
