But after that, it costs almost nothing to light it at 1g). A pair of 20km optics is about $250.I see that assertion a lot, and I want to correct it. The major cost, MRC, is *the router port*; I don't know what the 95%ile BW for a major hotel is going to be over a month, but I suspect that you're gonna need the whole 1Gb/s worth of port to handle the peaks. And those aren't exactly cheap -- though, by "daily commercial hotel revenue" standards, I suppose they're not *that* expensive; what kind of margins do hotels make?
Actually, local loop usually exceeds router port. If you're at one of the data centers where we have presence, I can sell you a dual-stack Gig for <$1/Mbps. OTOH, getting a Gig-E to the datacenter from the hotel and then the additional cost of the XC are probably more than $1,000/month when combined. Possibly by some multiplier ≥2. Owen
